Intercontinental / Macquarie Business Luncheon

Intercontinental / Macquarie Business Luncheon

Guest Speaker, LTGEN Peter Leahy, addressed Foundation Daw Park Board Members and Supporters at the recent Corporate Boardroom luncheon kindly co-hosted by Macquarie Private Wealth and the Intercontinental Adelaide.

His topic of address was ‘How do we know when we are at war?'.

It is important that we understand when we are at war because;

•·         our servicemen and women are involved in war right now and they need our support and recognition;

•·         we need to ensure that we are prepared with the right response options to meet current threats; and

•·         we need to reconsider the proper balance of responses to new threats which may involve the reallocation of existing defence, diplomatic and security resources and budgets.

The guests attending came from the military, academia, the defence industry and medicine with the Hon Chris Schacht also a guest.  The Intercontinental Adelaide showcased their menu, which was outstanding. 

Our thanks and appreciation goes to LTGEN Peter Leahy and our co hosts, Macquarie Private Wealth and the Intercontinental Adelaide for a fabulous luncheon.
