I met with Natalie last night and has a chat about her plans. It all sounds very positive. I'd like to encourage those of you who have considered joining Enlighten in Melbourne to also consider this, as the two are in no way mutually exclusive. In fact we will hopefully be working closer than ever, and the more overlap the better.
