C E L E B R A T I N G I A N H O R N E Peter was softly spoken and a diplomat, yet was incredibly effective in getting his message across. He would regularly entertain with great ease Premiers, politicians, the Chief Justice and heads of Government departments at his then Sturt Arcade Hotel on Grenfell Street. • The late Fred Basheer OAM then became the President. He had been a long-term Vice President and Chairman of Sip’n Save, our Liquor Marketing Group. And he was the Inaugural Chair of the Independent Gaming Corporation, so he was a very important part of the early establishment of the SA gaming offer. • He was followed on by Peter Hurley AO, who now holds the record as the longest-serving President for 24 years (17 with me). But to do that he had to win 24 annual elections! Which he did! Peter and I became very close, which happens when you work with someone for such a long, long period. One of his great words of wisdom was “the best thing I can do for the poor is not join them”. Think about it. It’s actually not a flippant response at all because like so many successful hoteliers, he and Jenny currently employ significant numbers of South Australians; in their case, some 700+ South Australians who all have dependents, families, dreams and ambitions. Peter and Jenny ensure they can pursue their dreams. The last thing those 700 need - or the economy needs - is for Peter and Jenny, or the multitude of other successful hoteliers, to join the poor. Peter, of course, has a lot of other sayings which are best not shared here. Under Peter’s leadership, we were able to develop the association into an incredibly influential organisation, which has paid dividends to this day in terms of an industry that makes such a significant contribution to employment, investment and the cultural and social wellbeing of so many South Australians. • And finally, the son of Fred, David Basheer. We identified that David was a potential leader of the future. Remember I talked about guided democracy! Peter and I literally ‘bullied’ David to come onto the AHA Council ,having failed to convince him of his obligations under the father son rule. In the end he weakened and joined Council and Executive, and he’s now heading up an organisation at a state level and is part of the national AHA leadership group. The Association success because of the legacy of these Presidents is reflected in our balance sheet, our record membership participation and our standing with Government and opposition. AHA|SA President David Basheer with CEO Ian Horne. INCREDIBLE STAFF I’m very proud to say that my replacement, Anna Moeller, and my last President at AHA|SA, David Basheer, are already a formidable team who bounce off each other in a most proactive and energetic manner… both of them in a hurry. It’s so exciting to see their enthusiasm. “We have had some exceptional women pass through employment at AHA|SA on their way to building solid careers...” Former AHA|SA President Peter Hurley AO with AHA|SA CEO Ian Horne. While mentioning Anna, in addition to being described by the recruiter (yes, it was a different recruiter to the one that almost wrecked history in 1986) as head and shoulders above the other contenders. As a result we have a woman heading up AHA|SA for the first time in 152 years. Isn’t that just fantastic? It could have been sooner I’m sure, but her immediate predecessor simply hung around for much longer than expected. Back to Contents www.ahasa.asn.au | Hotel SA | 25
