Lilika Allum, Nannup SES, has been selected to join Jack Watson, Tom Price SES, in Canberra for the National Memorial Service in Canberra on Thursday 01 May 2025.
Lilika is the successful applicant for the 2025 Bernie McNamara SES Young Emerging Leaders (YEL) Program and Jack automatically qualifies for the Program as the 2024 winner of the SES Youth Achievement Award. Both can now participate in the National Memorial Service in Canberra on Thursday 01 May 2025 with all expenses being covered by the National SES Volunteers Association (National SESVA).
A total of eight applications were considered by the selection panel which had the difficult task of choosing just one SES young emerging leader to participate in the Program.
The Program has been established to support the development of young SES volunteers in WA and is aligned with the National SESVA YEL Program, in which young SES volunteers from all Australian jurisdictions come together at the Memorial Service each year.
While in Canberra, the young volunteers will get the chance to meet the Governor-General and the Commissioners of emergency services from other jurisdictions, among other interesting activities organised by the National SESVA.
Congratulations to both Lilika and Jack on being selected for the Bernie McNamara SES Young Emerging Leaders Program.
“Our SES in WA and the community we serve can be very proud of the these young volunteers and the other seven outstanding applicants – our young volunteers are our future.”.
Regards,
GREG COOK
SESVA PRESIDENT
SES Volunteers Association (Inc.)
