President’s Report Jul 2024

How long can you hold your breath? Our team has been collectively holding ours for 6 weeks anxiously awaiting the closure of the VP tender. With excitement and relief I can now say, we received three very interesting proposals. I am really looking forward to diving into them with the Evaluation Team to find the best match to our goals. 

However, while we have been waiting, there have been plenty of other things to progress.

The Community Advisory Panel met again. David has more information to share in another article. We are also planning how to tackle the artwork that will accompany the battery. It's another topic that when you scratch the surface, you realise that there are many things to consider so we have set up another Working Group to tackle it. 

For VP community group members, if you would like a fuller briefing on our activities, please join our next meeting on Monday 12th August at 7.30pm. The meeting will be held online using the MS Teams platform. You should receive an email with the link shortly. I look forward to seeing you and answering questions you may have.
