Throughout the work week I have been continuing with the HR assignments previously started, however I had the chance to meet with Christopher to review the majority of my work and have been making changes based on his feedback. On Tuesday I had the chance to attend a Breakfast/Press Conference event at the Melbourne Cricket Club as Chas E Ramson's is a major sponsor of the club and CPL league (tournament). At the event I was able to meet the players of the Jamaica Tallawa's, which is the official Jamaican team. I listened to Christopher and Kathryn (both directors at Chas. E. Ramsons) give their sponsors remarks while the team coach and management spoke about the league, team and how grateful and excited they are to receive the funding. I also had the chance to meet the Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, honourable Olivia Grange. Minister Grange spoke about the challenges surrounding the sport in Jamaica, the lack of funding and also praised the Foska brand and Youth Cricket Camp it funds during the summer at the club. It was nice to experience this caliber of an event and observe how things run in another culture and with an extremely small budget.
