Janine Kirk AM - Luncheon 26 February 2020

Janine Kirk AM was the founding Chief Executive of The Prince's Trust Australia (now the Princes Trust Global Group), a not-for-profit built under the guidance of His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, and in March 2019 was appointed Chair of Phoenix Australia, the Centre for Post-traumatic Mental Health. Janine is also Chair of The Melbourne Prize Trust and Tourism Victoria - given recent events in Victoria, Janine was a timely and insightful speaker, greatly enjoyed by guests.
