2023 Mentoring Program Networking Event

Thank you to everyone who joined CFA for our annual Mentoring Program Networking Event!

The lovely event was hosted on Wurundjeri land at the Promenade, Docklands and, after some time to catch up following the Consumer Congress, Gerard Brody, CFA Chair, kicked off the evening by interviewing Catriona Lowe, ACCC Deputy Chair, and Teresa Corbin, Telstra’s Customer Advocate, about their experiences on both sides of the mentor-mentee relationship.

Then, Elissa Freeman, Mentoring Program Coordinator, conducted some informal interviews with this years mentees Rosie, Shane, Andrew, Martina, Kristal, and Lody. Inviting everyone to get to know future leaders of the consumer advocacy movement, and what led them to where they are now.

Learn more about the Program, meet the current mentees and alumni from 2022 and 2021.
