BondBenefit
THE inaugural Bond Benefit Dinner was held during this year’s Homecoming celebrations. Attendees raised $25,000 to support the new Bond Transformer program – an Australian-first program aimed at fostering and accelerating the innovative ideas of Bond students.
Held in Bond’s Princeton Room, attendees were treated to a keynote speech from David Baxby (Class of 1992), Managing Director of Wesfarmers Industrials Division and recipient of the first ever Robert Stable Alumni Medal in 2012. Hugh McFadden, a key member
of the organising committee and Bond MBA alumnus, said he was delighted to put on the event. “Tonight is the realisation of a long term dream to give back to the university,” said McFadden. “I’ve got two degrees from Bond and I’m very passionate about this place - what’s true on campus is true in life: Bondies support Bondies.” “The MBA alumni are dedicated to the betterment and advancement of the business school and tonight we’re thrilled to be supporting the Transformer program.”
