CEO News

SBA CEO Andrew Petersen I really appreciated the opportunity to be involved in the CEO CookOff event in Sydney at St Mary's Cathedral Square last week, along with the 199 other CEOs who included SBA Chair Robert Purves in his capacity as CEO of WWF.

The leadership and participation of Qantas CEO Alan Joyce was inspirational for the CEO CookOff and OzHarvest and Mission Australia are to be commended for their initiative that raised some $900,000 for hungry and homeless Australians.

It is critical that we all focus on everyone's essential needs of sustenance and a roof over our heads if we are to make up the shortfall in basic requirements for fellow Australians.

I know I was some help in encouraging others to provide practical support through their sponsorship for me in the event and my sincere thanks to them.

I hope the CEO CookOff becomes an annual event and turns out to be the catalyst for some longer-term solutions to hunger and homelessness in our rich city of Sydney, leading the way for the rest of Australia.
