Celebrate Men’s Health Week and pay tribute to Victorian Water Industry stalwart Laurie Gleeson at The Biggest Ever Laurie Gleeson Dinner 2016.

Laurie was Managing Director of Goulburn Valley Water from 1980 to 2008. He was Past President and a member of the Executive Council of the IWA, a former Board member of WSAA and long time supporter of WIOA.

Laurie was a founding committee member of Shepparton’s Biggest Ever Blokes Lunch, a fundraising event for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.  After his diagnosis with prostate cancer, Laurie worked tirelessly to lobby the Federal Government to include the life-extending cancer drug Zytiga on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. Laurie was posthumously awarded an Order of Australia for his work in 2015.

The event will  be held on Thursday 23 June 2016, 6.30pm at the Medallion Club, Etihad Stadium.
