Speakers Program

Thierry Demathieu- The Member behind the badge.

Thierry provided us with a pictorial view of his life including information about his family, his home town in France and his work.

Thierry first did work experience with his uncle who was a surveyor and it was this work experience that led him on his career path, from 1998-06 as a surveyor, from 2007-15 as a lecturer/co-ordinator at RMIT and now as the program manager at RMIT.

12 years ago, Thierry became an Australian citizen and it was one of the proudest moments of his life.  He is married to the beautiful Lisa, has two children and a toy poodle and loves eating, walking and soccer.  His parents visit every second year and he returns to France in the in-between years.

Prof Mary Galea & Prof Fary Khan and their current research program.

Mary & Fary have recently raised over $1million in grants in order to launch an Australian rehabilitation Centre in order to improve rehabilitation care.  Unfortunately there is no single centre of co-ordinated care all rehabilitation care is ad-hoc.

Member Betty Kitchener on her portfolio

Experiences in Afghanistan as a Barrister & Solider.

Keith has made three tours to Afghanistan as a member of the Army Reserve.  After his first tour a friend of his, Greg, was killed in Afghanistan and as a result Keith decided to return to Afghanistan again.  He was privileged to be offered a job as a platoon commander.  Keith likened leading a mission to being in the first 11 of the Australian cricket team.

Ken Woolfe believes it is a privilege to be a Rotarian and to be a member of the Carlton Club, and he is fortunate to be one of the 3 remaining charter members.
