As we reflect on the year past, it's clear we’ve all had a huge one. There’s been happy homes for many, business success for others, and investments that flourished! The team at IBA have been working hard to support you. The holiday period is a time for us to recharge and spend time with those dearest to us. We hope that it's a special time for you and your loved ones too.
Happy holidays from all of us at IBA! We look forward to another impactful year with you in 2024!
Warm regards,
Kirsty Moore (IBA CEO)
*gayaay gaangangindaay [pronounced gay-eye gain-un-in-dye] is from the Gamilaraay language. It means 'Merry Christmas'. The phrase was sourced from a Gamilaraay, Yuwaalaraay & Yuwaalayaay dictionary written by the Gamilaraay, Yuwaalaraay and Yuwaalayaay people in efforts to preserve and revive their traditional language.
