2022 Wilks Oration – Tameka Thompson
You may have thought that Stan Grant’s oration in February was it for the Wilks Oration this year, but having postponed it in 2020 and 2021, the Effective Living Centre brings you the actual 2022 Wilks Oration at its usual time in October.
Our guest orator will be Tameka Thompson, Aspire Program Manager at the Hutt St Centre. Tameka was recently named as one of South Australia’s outstanding young business leaders through the 2022 40 Under 40 Awards.
Tameka will inspire as she talks about ‘Aspire – working towards ending homelessness.’ The Aspire program is a collaboration between the Hutt St Centre, South Australian Government, Social Ventures Australia and Housing Choices South Australia and aims to helps homeless people aged 18-55 by connecting them with housing, employment and community.
Doors will open at 7.00pm for drinks and nibbles, with formalities starting at 7.45pm and supper afterwards. Music will be provided by Adelaide acoustic duo, Ash and Joseph, who recently performed at the ELC’s Concert for Peace, Love and Understanding.
