Maureen Bartlett, National Small Business Award winner, created Encore Beauty nearly 5 years ago. Last year she realised her passion and opened the 5^th International SLA Academy, teaching makeup skills to professionals and also to women in all walks of life.

Maureen believes that if we ‘Look Better, We Feel Confident’, so important for one’s self esteem. An addition to the morning’s agenda will be a makeover on a lucky attendee provided by Kerry Anderson from Heaven Sent.

Jason Gordon took over the reins at Wingecarribee Shire Council in December last year. At 36 he brings a young, fresh outlook to our Council and after 6 months in the job he has already begun to "shake things up".

 He has launched a major restructure of the organization that he hopes will be implemented in the new financial year. Jason will fill us in on his plans for Council and the changes and challenges leading into the future

Anna-Louise comes back to speak to us about her new book called The Feelgood Body published with Harper Collins, written with journalist Jennifer Fleming who co-wrote the Spotless series with Shannon Lush. 

It is all about understanding all the things that make bodies feel bad...like stress and too much sitting and not enough exercise....(the list goes on!); working out the signs that things are going wonky and finally simple ways to change some habits so you can look...and feel better.
