Other: My meetings with G2K representatives are always challenging, in fact they are often more challenging than some of the conversations I have to have with big company Chief Executives!
I have committed to hearing what young people say at the meetings and to attend every three or four months so they can grill me. If you out there have any issues please make sure your representatives are informed well in advance so that they can let me know your views.
Hope to hear from you soon.
