Australians on Frontline II
Two years ago Advance played host to a panel of three impressive and altruistic Australians working within the humanitarian field. The event “Australians on the Frontline” highlighted the dedication required to work in this field and members were privy to learn of the successes and obstacles facing Government, NGOs and advocacy groups today. In recognition of the tremendous work that Australians abroad have accomplished the Advance Public and Charitable sector is seeking nominations for three more heroes of the humanitarian world to share their stories and remind us what we can do to help. Please submit your nominations to public@advance.org

Advance is Carbon Neutral!
A recent Public & Charitable Network event was held in New York City - A Very Sunburnt Country: Australians on Climate Change. Advance aimed to make this event our first carbon neutral offering, and thanks to the donations of many of the evenings attendees we were not only able to achieve this, but also offset the carbon dioxide emissions of the Advance office for over six months. To learn more about this, please visit the TerraPass website and read the event report.
