Members Drinks with John Ridley

“Are we there yet?” – the making of the Melbourne Forum.

Since 2009, John Ridley has been at the helm of the Melbourne Forum, manoeuvring and steering it to be the wonderful community that it is today. Sadly, after 8 and a half years, John has decided to retire from his role as Chairman and as a Director at the AGM this year.
 

This will be a remarkable opportunity to hear about the motivation behind forming the Melbourne Forum, and hearing the stories of the journey from the Chairman himself. 

We have invited the inaugural directors and Foundation Committee to enjoy the journey as well.
