“I believe LG Professionals WA is a dynamic peak body, genuinely passionate about the myriad of opportunities that embody local government and their interconnections, and which embraces input from officers of all levels. Being a member has enabled me to be kept informed about the latest best practices and development in the sector. Sharing of information with peers has provided me with information and examples to draw from in the development of programs, events and services. My career has developed through my membership in many ways including opportunities to attend training, programs, and working groups that have significantly shifted both my strategic thinking and my knowledge base. I have also experienced professional growth allowing me to forge meaningful connections with peers across various local governments which has led to great opportunities such as representation at events and collaborative projects.” Pauline Wark, Place Activation Officer, City of Joondalup
