Ita Buttrose |
Ita Buttrose is an exceptional Australian: a legendary media
editor, businesswoman, best-selling author and President of Alzheimer's Australia.
She is also one of the leading multi-media performers in Australia – an inspiring and
entertaining speaker, an accomplished facilitator and MC.
Ita’s achievements have been recognised in many ways. She
was made an Officer of the Order of Australia for her services to the
community; she received an OBE for her services to journalism and a Centenary
Medal for her service to Australian society in business leadership.
Perhaps most indicative however of her position in Australia
is the groundswell of support and respect that Australians afford her as
witnessed by her being twice voted Australia’s most admired woman, the
accolades that she receives across so many sectors of society, the popularity
of the recent ABC mini-series Paper Giants and the fact that Australian Story
needed two episodes to tell her story.
Linda P Gaunt, Chief Executive Officer, MEA welcomes Ita on
board and looks forward to her hosting their annual National Conference.
“We are delighted to have such an iconic figure as MC at the
MEA Conference in 2012; we are very excited for our members to attend the event
and with preparations well under way it is shaping up to be an outstanding
program.”
The MEA Conference will take place in Sydney on the 22-24, April 2012. It is the
25th annual Meetings and Events Industry Conference.
