It gives me great pleasure to announce the 2010 RMHC Asia Pacific Middle East & Africa (APMEA) Region Conference, to be held this year on 19-22 October, at the Hotel Grand Chancellor in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.

This year’s theme once again echoes the Global RMHC theme “better together”, but on a local level will focus on the collective strength of our wonderful communities within the APMEA region when we work together, and the understanding that this combined effort is what drives real change. 

 “Better together” is about realising that to continue the positive impact we have on the lives of seriously ill children and their families, we must act as one powerful system and share with each other the ideas, resources, tools and encouragement required to grow the charity.

 The 2010 Conference provides the perfect forum to do this. We look forward to discussing how we can be “better together”, not only within RMHC, but in conjunction with the Staff, Donors, Board Members, Volunteers and Healthcare Professionals who so competently care for and assist the children and families of the APMEA region.

 On behalf of Marty Coyne and the RMHC Global team, we look forward to sharing with old friends and new, this great opportunity to develop our skills and share best practice as we continue on our unwavering mission to improve the health and wellbeing of seriously ill and injured children.

 Kind regards,

Malcolm Coutts

CEO RMHC Australia
