We would like to express a very special thank you to our Immediate Past President, Cassandra Pullos (Qld), who has stepped down from the board this year as she has reached the end of her maximum tenure.  Cassandra has been a passionate advocate for Collaborative Practice from its inception.  She was involved back in 2006 with the initial Best Practice Guidelines.  She was instrumental in pulling together those interested parties to work towards AACP becoming a reality.  She has served on the Board of AACP since it was constituted, for 2 years as Vice President, 4 years as President and this last year, as Immediate Past President.

We would also like to thank our other board colleagues who also stepped down at the recent AGM:

• Julie Gray (Vic) has been Treasurer of AACP since 2019, tirelessly and generously providing support and guidance throughout those 6 long years and instrumental in whipping AACP into financial shape;
• Susan Warda (NSW)  has been a board member since 2019 providing support for all things AACP and especially through the firm of which she is a partner, Mills Oakley, who have generously provided AACP with use of their venues and facilities around the country for many years;
• John O’Sullivan (WA) has been a board member since 2019 and was juggling many roles as AACP Secretary, SLO coordinator, CPWA Liaison and Wills & Estates Working Party lead.

We thank you all!
