RACI WA Branch and Groups Annual General Meeting (AGM) & November Chemaraderie – Tuesday 11th November
The Annual General Meeting of the RACI WA Branch and Groups will be held at the Chem Centre at Curtin University on Tuesday 11th November. The short AGM will be held, followed by a Chemaraderie speaker.
The AGM is an important part of the year. The AGM takes up only a short portion of the evening, with the majority of the time being networking and the evening presentation. It would be hoped that most members can find time in their schedules to attend.
National RACI has generously provided some funding for this event this year, so the event will be catered with delicious hot and cold food. Food will be served from 5.30pm (so arrive nice and early), and again after the Chemaraderie speaker concludes.
Chemaraderie Speaker:
WA’s Lithium Industry – ChemCentre’s Role in Enabling the Lithium Circular Economy.
