Dianne has also been the Ararat Rural City Council’s inaugural Australia Day Ararat Ambassador since January 2017, a role that has allowed her to become even more familiar with the region’s community groups.
Having received a letter informing her of her new official title, Dianne was amused to note she could now put the letters OAM after her name.
“I had a little chuckle as whenever I’m signing anything I’m always in a hurry,” she said.
As a highly valued member of the AME Systems team and an enthusiastic ambassador for the wider community, we are extremely proud of Dianne’s achievement and recognition.
It is very much deserved for all the hard work and time invested in many areas throughout the local community.
