2019 NSW/ACT Chapter Conference

The 2019 Chapter Conference was a great chance to Explore, Discover, Grow and Engage! 

Over two splendidly sunny days in September, over 140 advancement professionals descended upon Pier One Sydney for a couple of days of enriching learning and professional networking. This year’s NSW/ACT Chapter Conference theme was EDGE: Explore, Discover, Grow and Engage, and the delegates did just that as they learned from experts in the advancement field. 

Topics as diverse as Capital Campaigns, Leadership Through the Lens of Shakespeare, and Getting Disruptive in the Not-for-profit Space were covered. Speakers included Leadership Mentor Mary Jo Capps, Fran Clayton of McCann Agency, and admissions expert Geordie Mitchell. 

We would like to congratulate the Award Winners for their fabulous contributions, and we invite you to watch out for Special Interest Group discussions led by Award Winners coming soon.
