CWA Cobar Branch president Colleen Boucher attended the CWA’s State Conference last week at Royal Randwick in Sydney which celebrated 100 years of CWA. Among the guest speakers at the conference were former pro surfer Lane Beachley and Shane Fitzsimmons, the Commissioner of Resilience NSW and Deputy Secretary Emergency Management.
