Dr Loh is awarded the George Alexander Foundation International Fellowship at the 22nd Annual Fellowship Awards tonight.

The ceremony will be held at Melbourne Town Hall this evening. There will be short speeches from the Lord Mayor, The Hon Robert Doyle, our CEO Bella Irlicht AM, the Secretary of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, Richard Bolt and a current Fellow, Ros Walker. The ISS Institute Founder, Sir James Gobbo AC, CVO will also participate in the presentations. At the conclusion of the speeches, the Fellowship Certificates will be presented.

The aim of this Fellowship is to promote the acquisition of higher-level skills and an appreciation of international best practice in several areas. Dr Loh has been selected because of his passion and it is genuine recognition of the significant contribution he has already made and will be making in the years to come.
