<p><p>Thank you Gwen Fletcher</p>
<p>I am just one of thousands who's financial planning career was enhanced by your influence. You were the first financial planner I met in 1990 on my first outing as a Fund Manager BDM. I asked you for feedback and you kindly said leave the brochures at your office. You were my referee to gain my dream job in 1994 as head of private banking at Macquarie and you were my teacher as I gained my financial planning qualifications. But you were the mother of financial planning, you guided the early days of our profession and inspired so many of us to want to improve it</p>
