Feedback
The crew loved Libbi and she did indeed set the tone for what turned out to be a very
happy and vibrant event. People were so joyous to be back together and Libbi made
them laugh loud and express their joy right from the get go.
Just a brief note from me to express my personal thanks to you for acting as the MC for
the VIP Event celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Courage to Care. It was a very
successful function, your relaxed style contributed greatly to the evening.
Libbi Gorr is the consummate professional. She has this great ability to bring the whole
room into the evening and create a sense of inclusivity, interest, intelligence, and really
great fun. There is no doubt that Libbi is a major part of making our events so successful
and popular.
The Jreissati Family Pancreatic Centre dinner was a wonderful night (and a long time
coming!!). Guests were thrilled to be there and to hear about the centre’s work, only
launching in February last year. Libbi did a magnificent job at addressing the serious
topics, while managing to keep things light, fun and engaging, noting how tragic
pancreatic cancer is as a disease. She was also fantastic at leading the panel segment
and asking questions that those in the audience may not have been comfortable asking.
Libbi, thank you for the most enjoyable lunch yesterday. Thanks for the enthusiasm and
the insight that you brought to the discussion and thank you for the wonderful way that
you managed to drive the discussion.
Feedback has been just gorgeous and interest in support (from the place cards) is
brilliant, so thank you again for bringing such beautiful energy to the event and the
conversation we are very grateful.

Everyone had great things to say about Libbi’s presentation…. Very engaging, interesting, good stories and fun as well…also stayed around chatted to everyone.
What a fantastic International Women’s Day dinner with Libbi Gorr hosted by the Kew
Junction Business Association at the Postmaster Hotel. Wow, did Libbi, a past MLC Kew
girl light up the room, hilarious authentic observations of life, reflections of society that
made our poor male bar tenders wince…
Libbi Gorr recently spoke at our 2022 International Women’s Day function, she was a
fantastic addition to our event, she was interesting and interested in us and our
Organisation. She was engaging and included all members of the audience from the
men to the younger women in attendance. Libbi was very accommodating and gave
freely of her time, she was involved and happy to talk to people, have photos taken and
take them herself, giving instructions which were very useful. I find myself saying “Libbi
said to do it this way!!” She made notes and referred to the Zonta Club and Melton in
her address, she also commented on the achievements of our Woman of Note.
Libbi was so easy to talk to and made everyone at ease instantly, a real pleasure and joy
to meet her. Thank you.
What can I say…what an incredible event. Thank you so much for your involvement in
our International Women’s Day celebrations at Austin Health. We have received
wonderful feedback from across the organisation and can’t thank you enough for
helping us bring this event to life.
You have an incredible connection with people. The way you framed up our event and
the conversation you had with our award recipients was fabulous. Each and every one of
our award recipients were able to be honest and authentic in their responses and wow,
what an impact that had! From the minute we first spoke, the whole planning of the
event was just seamless. Once again, my sincere thanks again to you Libbi - I hope we
get to work with you again in the future.
