Dinner - Victoria Golf Club - Guest Speaker, Will Johnson
The Guest Speaker was Will Johnson of The Johnson Group, Project Managers of several golf Clubhouse redevelopments in Melbourne in recent years, as well as many large commercial and private constructions. Will provided a comprehensive overview of the many and varied factors that need to be taken into account, citing examples from the golf club setting to illustrate several points, both positive and negative.
As a keen golfer himself, Will feels suitably able to understand the link between a Club's course/s and the Clubhouse, and as a engineer and 'professional project manager', able to represent the best interests of a Club from the project management perspective.
