Jacinta did an outstanding job as MC at the business Forum, an event attended by six ministers of the Papua New Guinea government and a veritable who’s who of the bilateral business community … she displayed high levels of intelligence, charm, wit and grace introducing guest speakers, bringing sessions to a timely conclusion, and getting them started again after breaks. She pitched in unstintingly and became an invaluable part of our team running the event. It was an absolute delight to have Jacinta work as part of our team at the Forum.
