RESERVISTS
who excel at their military and civilian workplaces will be recognised
at the national conference and Prince of Wales Awards ceremony
held by the Defence Reserves Support Council (DRSC) in Townsville
from October 16-18.
More than 50 people from across Australia will be involved in
the conference.
The Prince of Wales Awards recognise individual Reservists’ excellence
in both civilian and military workplaces by providing outstanding
Reserve members the opportunity to travel to Canada, the UK or
the US to gain experience with their civilian and military counterparts.
The awards aim to enhance community and employer support for the
Reserves and to encourage employers to support their Reservist
employees for military training and service.
Squadron Leader Deanna Nott, of the DRSC, said since the last
national conference, the council had worked hard to produce a
new range of products that helped inform people about the DRSC
and its role of liaising between the ADF, Reservists and the employers
of Reservists.
The products include brochures, a web site, CD, posters, a video
about the organisation, promotional pull-up banners and conference
displays.
SQNLDR Nott said the council believed the products would encourage
people to call on the DRSC whenever they needed help with a defence-related
issue.
