Background History of the ECP Seminar Presentation Opportunity Event
Around 16 years ago, Sarah Richards (#TetraTechCoffey) had the idea for creating a presentation opportunity for our early career professionals to help drive their careers forward and support industry betterment. Together Sarah and Clinton Smiljanic (ACLCA CPD Sub Committee Chair) brought this to life in Victoria. Since its humble beginnings, our presentation series has become a national event and opens up the possibility for one ECP from each state to present on an international stage – thanks to EcoForum and CLEANUP Conference (#ALGA).
Sarah is a remarkable woman and a strong, well respected professional. Sarah has always had a focus on supporting others, which makes her idea no surprise. Sadly, the legendary Sarah Richards passed in 2023. Her legacy lives on in many ways – including supporting our ECPs – our future leaders, be the best they can be.
