Slavko Malesevic celebrates 40 years with IBM

The 23rd of April, 2008 was the 40th anniversary of the day Slavko Malesevic joined IBM. 40 years in IBM is a major achievement attained by only a few. Congratulations Slavco.

Maurice Bevington OAM

With Maurice's passing we have lost a major connection to the establishment of the IBM Quarter Century Club.

No one will surpass Maurice's service to the QCC. He qualified for the QCC in 1966. He attended the first ever meeting of the QCC and joined the committee created at that meeting. He stayed involved with the QCC for the next 41 years.

Maurice's contributions were many. The most well-known being the annual weekend away. Maurice planned the event, vetted the facilities and organised the component functions for this event for a number of years. We still follow the format he established and it is only in the last few years that Maurice handed over the organisation into the capable hands of Connie and Clyde Lee and Geoff Nash.

Maurice had kidney problems for the last 12 months. Prior to this period he was very active in the QCC, starring as a panellist at the QCC 40th Anniversary Annual General Meeting and receiving an award for his 40 years of service to the QCC at the 2006 Annual Dinner from the IBM ANZ CEO, Glen Boreham (pictured).

Maurice received an OAM in 2006 for his services to charities.

We will miss Maurice, his advice, guidance and experience plus his contributions to the discussions at our meetings.
We have lost a good friend and colleague as well as a connection to the IBM Quarter Century Club establishment.

RIP Maurice.
