success."

"It was
obvious fairly early on that Arron Wood was a leader. I think he'd be eminently
suited for Federal politics"

"Australian Story is
about a man, named Arron Wood, who has been described by both sides of politics
as one of Australia's next generation of leaders."
ABC Australian Story
"Arron Wood is one of those remarkable people who, at
28, make you wonder what the hell you've been doing with your life. This
environmentalist is a natural leader, chased by both ends of the political
spectrum."

"The Myer Foundation has always strived to help young people feel connected
to their communities and to know their voice is important. Philanthropic
foundations and the business community can have a special role in ensuring that
young people are true participants in the current and future well being of their
society and of the planet. Through the International River Health Conference
initiative, the small company Fire Starter has possibly done more to engage
young Australians in the environmental health of the country than any government
or NGO in Australia."
Helen Morris, Executive
Officer, The Myer Foundation
"As a close personal friend of Arron I am continually
impressed by his commitment to educating the community about our environment. I
had the pleasure to work side by side with him in the 1999 Young People's River
Health Conference and the 2001 MDBC International River Health Conference. What
he achieved at these events was inspirational."

asked me to participate in the 2001 International River Health Conference in
Mildura. From the outset I was impressed with their professionalism and obvious
dedication to the cause. The Conference was extremely well organised, from the
pre-planning stage through to the execution, and accordingly I could not
recommend them more highly".

(30 December 2001) Energy, passion and commitment to the communication task
and the people involved are the characteristics of the people behind Fire
Starter Communications. They really understand that communication is as much
about listening as it is about selling a message. The success of the Murray
Darling Basin International River Health Conference in 2001 was due to Arron
Wood and his team and their ability to understand and meet the needs of the
participants.
Leith Boully, Chairman, Community
Advisory Committee to the Murray Darling Basin Ministerial Council.
