MPAQ EVENTS & TRAINING
OM R F E G A S S E M A TS C E J O R P MPAQ’S R E G A N A M S & E V EN T In 2021, the MPAQ events team experienced a year of change and growth. We had some exciting transitions with Lisa, Alana, and Lupe welcoming new additions to their families, and we welcomed Laura and Victoria to the team. We said goodbye to our events manager, Lisa Ross who, after 12 years with the Association, moved with her husband and daughter across the country for a fresh start in Perth. In terms of our events, we were able to get back to delivering our face-to-face events across Queensland, and we were overwhelmed with the response from members. As the lockdowns continued and restrictions on events came and went, we managed to deliver 32 events throughout the year and even though some of our events were postponed due to the lockdowns or restrictions, and La Niña came and put a damper on our final event of the year, I couldn’t be prouder of our team’s hard work this year. We celebrated our 21st Plumbing and Gas Industry Awards with our largest attendance ever, we held eight golf days with our largest attendance in over five years across all locations, we visited members on five regional road trips, and we kept busy with our Women’s Plumbing Alliance, Major Contractors Group, webinars, and World Plumbing Day. To top it off, we raised our largest amount ever for our charity partner, Cancer Council Queensland, and we’ll get to do a final fundraise and deliver the donation at our postponed Gold Coast Golf Day next year. Thank you to our corporate partners and our members for continuing to support our events, and I hope you enjoy a happy and safe holiday season. Keep an eye out for our 2022 events calendar in the New Year and I look forward to seeing you out and about!
