Wednesday Networking with Ms Acacia Collard

Wednesday Networking is a platform for members and non-members to meet other like-minded people, providing the chance to create relationships.

On November 18, 2020, our Chamber conducted two ceremonies in a special Wednesday Networking event. The first ceremony was the formal presentation by Indigenous artist Acacia Collard of her painting to our Chamber. The second was a New Member Ceremony for a selected group of Chamber members who applied to join us during 2020.

Acacia gave a brief talk to introduce herself, her work, and the symbolisms embedded in her painting. Vice President Cheong Chew expressed the Chamber’s appreciation to Acacia, and presented her with a plaque as a momento to her painting.

The New Member Ceremony was conducted by Council Member Halina Young. The list of participates were:

Mr Bruce Hawley & Mrs Wendy Hawley, Clockwork Print and Signage
Professor Colin Roberts, Salternas Ltd
Ms Vanessa Xiao, 8 Advisory Accountants & Advisors
Mr Simon Helm, Imperium Advisory
Ms Simone Tan, Student

Special guests of the evening included Ms Sandy Anghie, Deputy Lord Mayor of the City of Perth; and Dr Chen Ting, President of Chung Wah Association.

Acacia is a Badimia Yamatji – Balladong Noongar woman who specialises in contemporary Aboriginal artworks and designs.

On the same evening, WACCC will conduct a special New Membership ceremony to welcome new members who join our Chamber.
