Mark Bouris reflects on identity, family and legacy at Fronditha Care event

·

The Fronditha Care Foundation hosted its first fundraising event, “In Conversation”, with Mark Bouris, Executive Chairman of Yellow Brick Road Home Loans.

In a thoroughly engaging and inspiring discussion led by Faye Spiteri OAM, CEO, Fronditha Care, Mark shared – with over 90 guests – his personal history, professional journey, reflections on his career and life, and what it means to live and age well.

He spoke openly and candidly about being a Greek-Irish boy growing up in Western Sydney, and reflected on his focus and determination in shaping his professional career, how his experiences in his younger years laid the groundwork for becoming a disruptor.

Bouris also talked passionately about community and the importance of connection and belonging and reconnecting to his Greek roots.

The most poignant moments of the conversation were the focus on his personal health challenges and how he would like to be remembered as a man deeply connected to his family and community.

Dr Stella Laletas, Chair, Fronditha Care Foundation, closed the event saying, “We’re very proud to have hosted this Fronditha Care Foundation event in support of our mission and I’d like to thank Mark Bouris, all our benefactors, supporters, collaborators, partners for joining us and making today’s event such a tremendous success”.
