Chair wins top award

Dandenong Market Chair Julie Busch was named Corporate Citizen of the Year at the City of Greater Dandenong's Australia Day celebrations over the weekend.

Ms Busch was recognised for her significant service to the community, particularly her tireless work as Chair and Non-Executive Director at Dandenong Market for more than seven years. She was presented with her Award by City of Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti.

This is a well deserved honour, recognising Ms Busch's outstanding contribution to Dandenong Market, both as Chair and a valued weekly customer.
