  SHARE YOUR STORY

  FEI MENTORS, MENTEES AND ALUMNI

  * REQUEST FOR PARTICIPATION *

  Dear FEI Mentors, Mentees and Alumni –

  Every year the FEI team gets wonderful feedback, is copied in on sincere notes of thanks and is privy to heartwarming (and sometimes funny!) experiences arising from the FEI Mentoring programs.

  It is truly joyful and we’d love to be able to share the experience with our broader community – especially with our mentors who earn us so much goodwill. 

  If you have a mentoring story that you’d be happy for us to capture – either in print or on video – we’d love to hear from you.  Mentees – please tell us what the experience has meant for you, and Mentors – we’d love to hear why you choose to support FEI (and why others should too).

  Please pay-it-forward by taking a moment here (or emailing us on admin@fei.org.au) to let us know that you'd be open to telling your story (as with all things FEI, we’ll be highly respectful of you time and make the process as easy as possible for you). 

  Thanks - we’ll be in touch soon.

  Sincerely,

  Michelle

  Michelle Reynolds Patel

  CEO, FEI

  Are you interested in reconnecting, and expanding your CFO network?

  The annual FEI Rel8 program is a great opportunity to reconnect with your Mentor or Mentee as well as meet others from any of our prior mentoring seasons.  While the program has historically run as a series of small lunches, this year we’re doing it differently.

  For Rel8 2026 we’re holding a single dinner – following a cocktail and speaking event open to all FEI Members.  You can come to both portions of the event, or simply join us for dinner.  There is no agenda for Rel8, just an informal and intimate setting for you to expand your professional network.

  Whilst we can’t guarantee your former Mentor/Mentee will be free to attend, we can be sure that you will enjoy an interesting discussion in great company.

  START THE EVENING WITH A UNIQUE FEI MEMBER EVENT

  Join:

  Michael Ihlein, NED for Ampol, Endeavour Group, Inghams Group and Scentre Group
