I am most proud of the way DAPAANZ has become the glue that keeps members together and the acceptance of differences that sometimes keep us apart.
The multidisciplinary aspect of our field is what I treasure the most!

I am most proud of formally recording the dapaanz Membership and Registration policy.
When I started on the Board I wanted to enhance the clarity around registration processes and hopefully this policy achieves that.
