We are pleased to have Jerry on board and believe that his skills and expertise will bring a new depth to the news and information released by Migration Alliance. Jerry is set to release his first news articles within the next two weeks.
Congratulations Jerry and welcome on board and congratulations MA for being able to not only keep the Membership informed and updated, but also to actively seek to bring on board highly skilled people within the industry who have an understanding of how law interacts with human beings, particularly potential and aspiring residents to Australia who are often confused, misinformed and vulnerable. Jerry, you also have my vote because anyone who masters the Diploma of Law with the LPAB requires particular skills and commitment to get through (as someone who knows first hand). Look forward to meeting you in upcoming MA events.
I'm speechless. Just as well that I'm a writer. Thank you for this kind support. As you know MA does pride itself as a lobby group. Its strength comes from the participation of members. So please do feel free to flag issues affecting you in order that we may explore ways to get you heard. Feel free to contact me on jerry.gomez@gomezlaw.com.au.
Cheers
Jerry Gomez, Editor, Migration Alliance
Congratulations Jerry!
