18 Gallery December 2018 Awarding association excellence at KIA Oval Three hundred and fifty attendees were at the KIA Oval on 12 October for the 2018 Association Excellence Awards, and witnessed recognition across 16 categories. Claire Wormsley, co-founder and managing director of organiser GCN Events commented: “The 2018 Association Excellence Awards really underscores the vital work that associations do on behalf of their members and allows us to acknowledge and celebrate the impact these organisations have. “There were some truly outstanding efforts recognised at the ceremony from an incredibly diverse array of sectors and professions, and we are very pleased to be able to shine a spotlight on their collective achievements.” There was an opening drinks reception up on the Corinthian Roof Terrace, before a dinner and entertainment by magician Ben Hanlin.
