12 – 13 March
LGIS had a great time at the LG Professionals WA Finance Conference on March 12 – 13. It might be the last large gathering we make it to for a while, so it was a great opportunity to touch base with the delegates face to face. Thank you to everyone who came down and said hello.
LGIS staff members have successfully made the transition to working from home. Pictured is our executive team catching up via Zoom recently. Remember we are just a phone call or Zoom meeting away.
In light of the current climate, we will be looking to run video conferencing sessions in the near future. More details to follow once arrangements are confirmed.
