been appointed to the International Board of Directors at The One Club

Baron is one of nine new appointees to the

to representing Australia on the Board. Previously, the Board position
alternated each three-year term between creatives from Australia and New

the innovative and dynamic organisation that is the One Club for
Creativity. Offering support for the next generation of industry
professionals, celebrating world-changing ideas and stimulating the
collaboration of art and commerce is of the utmost importance, and is a
vision that I am very much excited about.
"I vividly recall pouring over One Show manual's when I was a student.
To win my first One Show Pencil was a special day, because the One Club
represents all that we aspire to as creatives. As part of a big global
creative community, the One Club has the power to change our world for
the better and show us the path forward. It's a journey I can't wait to
begin."
Says Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club for Creativity: "One reason The One Club is so prestigious is because of its exceptional Board of Directors, an impressive group of the most prominent creative professionals from around the world. We are thrilled to have Pat Baron join the International Board, and look forward to him playing a key role in furthering our mission to support and celebrate the success of the global creative community, and solidifying the relevance of our mission in Australia."
