ACT CFA President’s Report
Although Canberra is relatively small in numbers when
it comes to Churchill Fellows, we work hard to promote
Fellowship applications and support newly returned Fellows.
2016 was an exciting year with two great functions for our
Fellows. Our Annual Dinner, held at the Commonwealth Club
in August, gave us the opportunity to hear from our recently
returned Fellows and medal recipients. It was a delight to
briefly hear of their adventures and plans for implementing
their Fellowship findings.
Each year we celebrate Churchill’s birthday with our “Drinks
on the House” at Churchill House. Last year was a special
event as we also welcomed our eight new 2016 Churchill
Fellows. With specialist subjects ranging from youth
engagement to botany and education support for children
with long term illness, we look forward to learning from their
Fellowship experiences.
2017 has started at a busy pace for our committee as we
conduct our usual events as well as plan for the upcoming
Churchill Fellows Convention. We have planned a range of
engaging speakers and discussions based on the theme,
“What happened Next?” We encourage Fellows from
around Australia to join us as we discuss and debate the
opportunities and challenges of sharing your findings after you
return from your Fellowship. With a focus on sharing ideas and
building networks we hope this will be both an engaging and
professionally rewarding experience for all Churchill Fellows.

From the perspective of our local ACT Churchill Fellows’
Association we have appreciated the opportunity to meet
with and benefit from the expertise of the Churchill Trust staff
on many occasions. To Adam, Sally, Meg, Julia, Emma and
Bev your support for our small association has been
wonderful, many thanks.
We look forward to welcoming you to Canberra in October for
the National Convention of Churchill Fellows.
