Recognition all round at 2015 AGM - Argyle Housing | A better future for our communities

On the 17th of November we held our Annual General Meeting live at the Gungahlin Lakes Golf & Community Club – thank you to all who came and participated in the event.

Argyle is a unique community housing provider in many ways but one is that we have a large footprint, and it can be hard to get everyone in the same place all at once. So this year we used the gift of technology to host satellite events across NSW and the ACT. Thanks to the Streaming Guys we were able to broadcast the event live out to our local offices so tenants, staff and other partners could join in on the proceedings and catch up.
