Written Community Recognition Statement - Sean Walsh

I am delighted to acknowledge the achievements of Sean Walsh, a 19 year old man from Killarney Heights who has a bright future in leadership. I was proud to meet Sean and help sponsor him to attend a Leadership Conference in Canberra. This 4 day conference was held at the Australian Parliament House and the Hyatt Hotel. 

He and the other 186 young people from around the country were able to gain great insight from the various speakers. Sean was particularly impressed by Lieutenant General David Morrison's presentation, as he spoke about the way he had learnt from his various faults and mistakes made during his life. This was very reassuring to the audience when considering the way people in office can overcome difficulties. Sean is a very impressive young man and will no doubt make a great future leader in the community. It is great to see the calibre and passion of our young people and I congratulate Sean on taking the initiative to attend the Conference. Thank you.
