“Our vision is to use our collective voice to inspire and educate each other – and the community at large,” said World Expeditions’ CEO, Sue Badyari.
“We know that behaviours have to change and the first step in that process is education. We are confident that this staff program will have the desired effect and our team will be inspired when they see the difference they can make.”
