"Shelley Reys and Arrilla were invaluable in taking what we had achieved in the NT to establish the hotel industry's first Reconciliation Action Plan.  We would not have been so successful were it not for Shelley's deep knowledge of Indigenous relations, and the respect she has attracted from communities across the country.

Working with Shelley, we completed our RAP, established a local collaboration policy for our hotels across Australia, and conducted highly praised cultural awareness training across our entire executive leadership team.  On a broader level, Shelley's advice and guidance has helped us shape the direction of IHG?s commitment to creating real opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. For us, Shelley is a valuable and commendable partner of choice."
