| Reconciliation Week 2010 Theme |
| |
|
On the 27th of last month, the Management Committee (pictured right) had their first meeting of 2010. This meeting focused on the year ahead for NSWRC; how we can grow our movement and put reconciliation in the hearts and minds of all Australians.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Bridge Walk for Reconciliation. In remembering this important moment, the NSW theme for Reconciliation Week 2010 is Reconciliation: The Road Ahead.
