Xerocon returned as an in-person event this year after a two year hiatus due to the global pandemic. The conference was hosted in Sydney at the International Convention & Exhibition Centre (ICC) on the 7th and 8th of September. Lee Green provided the opportunity for two staff to attend, being me and fellow associate director Melissa Probert.
Team Lee Green are regular participants in the Cancer Council’s Adelaide Central Relay for Life, this year held at the Adelaide Showgrounds on the 23-24 February 2019. Relay teams aim to keep a team baton moving around a track for the duration of the relay and raise vital funds for Cancer Council’s support, treatment and prevention programs.
To celebrate the start of Keep Australia Beautiful (KAB) week, Lee Green Consultant Tim Major has shared with us five handy tips for recycling at home.

Lee Green was represented at the 2017 Garma Festival by Mike Levy as part of the David Liddiard Group contingent. The Garma Festival is held annually in north east Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. The festival aims to share knowledge and culture as well as develop economic opportunities for the Yolngu people of Arnhem Land. Like the Barunga Festival also recently attended by Lee Green, the Garma Festival is brilliantly organised and an opportunity to be immersed in and embrace Aboriginal culture. Additionally, the Garma Festival provides an opportunity for two-way discussions and exchanges of ideas, with the theme of the 2017 Festival being "Makarrata – Settling our differences" (refer to the link for a deeper understanding of Makarrata). The presence of the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader provided additional weight to the discussions. Sessions from the Festival are available to be seen on SBS on demand.
As part of our community engagement program, Lee Green has made an ongoing commitment to the Meals on Wheels corporate volunteering program. Team members are volunteering at Meals on Wheels Burnside on a regular basis and have been impressed with the meals as well as the support of the more experienced volunteers. Volunteers assist with with meal preparation, packing and kitchen clean up as well as partaking in a delicious morning tea of scones with jam and cream!
