They were presented with their Life Membership at the POAAL AGM held in Melbourne this week.Tony and Noelene were active members of the POAAL Victorian Branch Committee for many years. They made presentations at POAAL meetings all over Australia, encouraging Licensees to be entrepreneurial and to maximise their income from Australia Post.POAAL Victorian Branch Chairman Des Burns paid tribute to Tony and Noelene's commitment to their fellow Licensees. "It's one thing to run a very successful LPO like Tony and Noelene did, but they did more than that by helping Licensees all around the country make the most out of their businesses."Tony recalled how when he started out in the LPO there were only very low levels of support from Australia Post, and that through POAAL he was able to get support and fresh ideas for his business.He said that all Licensees should join POAAL to be part of the Licensee peer support network.
