Last week, members of the LDC Board, Larrakia Cultural Centre Board and LDC corporate team came together at the Darwin Trailer Boat Club for a multi-purpose gathering!
The event provided an opportunity for Mark Motlop, LDC Chair, to speak on behalf of the team and sincerely thank Tony Pickering for his substantial contribution during his time on the LDC Board. Tony’s insight, commercial acumen and commitment have helped shape the organisation, and we wish him every success and fulfilment in his retirement.
We also officially welcomed Anthony Whitfield as the new CEO of LDC and look forward to his leadership as we move into the next chapter of growth and opportunity.
In addition, we acknowledged and thanked Ian Doherty for his dedicated service as Interim CEO, recognising the stability, guidance and professionalism he provided during this important transition period.
An enjoyable evening spent recognising contribution, welcoming new leadership and strengthening connections across the organisation.
