<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">It's time to say goodbye! This is the final day of work for me at RNLD as I'm about to commence my retirement.</span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">It has been a great privilege to have worked with RNLD for the past nine years since I was first awarded Federal Government funding in 2009 to develop
the Documenting and Revitalising Indigenous Languages (DRIL) training program. It was a long-held dream to create a
</span></span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">training model
</span></span></font></span></span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">and
</span></span></font>program that could support the wishes of Aboriginal and Islander people to develop and control all aspects of their own language programs themselves. It has been exciting and extremely rewarding to bring this dream to fruition and to see
the DRIL program flourish in such a short time.</span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">Up to this point, we have run 130 Flexible DRIL workshops, trained over 600 Indigenous people from all Australian states and territories, and supported
147 separate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. We have also developed and piloted our nationally accredited Certificate II in Master-Apprentice Language Learning Program and Certificate III in Aboriginal Languages for Communities and Workplaces,
and delivered six Professional Development workshops.</span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">I am proud to be leaving RNLD in a strong position with a great team of trainers and office staff. RNLD will continue to serve Indigenous communities
across Australia and to reach out internationally to people who are keenly involved in language revitalisation activities, while also growing and developing in new directions.</span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">Such achievements can only occur with the support of many other people. In parting, my heartfelt thanks go foremost to all of the language warriors around
Australia who have taken part in our training workshops. You have not only placed your trust in us but have also shared your knowledge with us and have been central to the development of our training model and our programs. I am very grateful to our energetic
staff (both present and past) who bring passion and skills to all of our activities, the ILA funding program, partner organisations, and all of you in Australia and internationally who connect with us and contribute to RNLD's mission.
