Congratulations and thank you to Roland Penno
Roland was recognised for his outstanding and long-standing service to DATTA WA and the Design and Technologies profession at the PTCWA awards last night.
As a dedicated committee member and life member of the association, Roland was nominated by the Association Executive for his contribution of many years of knowledge, experience and practical support. In recent years, he has capably managed the association’s accounts, providing sound financial oversight and dependable advice. When DATTA WA required additional support in 2026, Roland readily stepped into the Treasurer’s role, ensuring the association’s financial responsibilities continued to be managed effectively.
Roland is knowledgeable, street smart and generous with his time. His practical judgement, willingness to assist and deep understanding of the profession have made him an invaluable member of the committee. He remains genuinely committed to strengthening DATTA WA, supporting its members and advancing Design and Technologies education.
Roland’s loyalty, leadership and sustained contribution make him a highly deserving recipient of this award.
