Congratulations Melinda!

Traditionally, finger pointing is used to cast blame or to assign the blame for something to someone else.

But not today.

Today we are pointing the finger at the latest recipient of our Above and Beyond Award, Melinda Jones!

Congratulations Sheryl!

At Rural Lifestyle Options Australia we like to celebrate the contribution of staff who have been with us on this journey for a long period of time. Previously, we acknowledged 5, 10, 15 and 20 year milestones but back in July 2020 we made the decision to also acknowledge 17.5 years too.

Since the introduction of this new award, our first staff member to reach this milestone is Sheryl Colton, who was recently presented with her 17.5 Years of Service Award by Michelle Latailakepa, Chief Executive Officer and Ann Armstrong, Vice Chair (Board of Directors).

In recognition of Sheryl’s dedication and loyalty to the organisation, Sheryl received an award acknowledging this milestone, a personalised letter from the CEO and a $175 RLOA Gift Card which can be used at a variety of major retailers.

Please join us in congratulating Sheryl!
