The Committee for Adelaide has been working closely with Adelaide Abroad to develop their first initiative, the Boomerang Club which was launched with great enthusiasm.

The aim of the Boomerang Club is to help South Australian “boomerangs” (expats who have returned home) and “arrows” (international folk who have chosen South Australia as their new home) to leverage their experience and connections abroad for the good of the State as well as make new connections in Adelaide.

It was interesting to hear from “Boomerangs” Jodie van Deventer, CEO of the Committee of Adelaide and Douglas Gautier AM, CEO & Artistic Director of the Adelaide Festival Centre, and “Arrows” Genevieve Haese, The Lady Mayoress of the City of Adelaide, and Dr Tom Hajdu, the CEO of Disrupter and the South Australian Government’s Chief Advisor on Innovation share their experiences in SA and highlight what we as a team can do to boost SA by being more international and sharing knowledge, contacts and ideas.
