To mark the 75th Anniversary of the end of the Second World War, the CWM launched a new online resource “Connecting Students with Remembrance”, with the generous support of the FCWM and others.

As the President of the FCWM, Robert Hamilton, noted: “This Remembrance module provides educators and students with high-quality primary source material to engage with our country’s military heritage; we are delighted to be able to contribute to the education of the next generation”.

Through his diligent and rigorous research, testing, and technical delivery, Bill enabled the FCWM to conduct a fully compliant and successful virtual Annual Members’ Meeting with broad member engagement, participative communication, and voting integrity.

Tom’s leadership and contribution to the development of the FCWM’s Policy, Guidance and Procedures Handbook resulted in an exemplary living document that will not only sustain the FCWM but has also been adopted as a model by other organizations.

Bob’s leadership of the FCWM’s development, testing, and standing up of a new website, under pandemic restrictions, was a remarkable achievement, thereby strengthening the Friend's focus on outreach and charitable purpose. The new website, launched in December 2020, could not have been achieved without Bob’s leadership.
