🌸 When your CEO also happens to have a secret talent for floral design… 💐✨

Ahead of tonight’s Spirit of Service Awards Gala (aka the Logies of the public sector), our CEO Kate Driver rolled up her sleeves and created these stunning, artistic flower arrangements herself.

It’s the perfect touch of creativity, warmth, and heart for a night that celebrates the same values across the ACT and Commonwealth public sectors. 🌿

We are itching to see who wins!
