President’s Welcome

Welcome back to 2020! Here we go…

Entering a new year and a new decade is the ideal time to review, refresh and reset our work and life goals. Being an Educate Plus member, you already have the roadmap to success at your fingertips!

Term 1 – Special Interest Groups

Before Term 1 gets away from us and we slip into operational mode, I encourage you to diarise the Special Interest Group (SIG) dates in Term 1—a perfect way to kick-start the year! Nowhere else do we get the opportunity to spend valuable time with our contemporaries, ask our burning questions and learn from each other’s successes (and failures!).

Term 2 – Networking Drinks

In Term 2 we have a couple of relaxed networking knock-off drink events in the planning—watch this space.

Term 3 – International Conference

The biennial International Conference, to be held in Adelaide this year, is going to be a cracker. I may have had a sneak peek at the line-up of speakers and what a treat we are all in for! This event is definitely not to be missed and registrations are now open.

Term 4 – NSW/ACT Chapter AGM and Christmas Party

At a later date than usual this year, 10 December, we hope to see you so we can celebrate the year that was.

Mentoring

Have you considered a mentor? As a member of Educate Plus you have access to a wealth of knowledge throughout the industry via the Mentoring Program. Accelerating your goals is literally one click way… right here!

Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.

Finally, a big thank you to the NSW/ACT Chapter Committee—I have never before met such a hardworking and generous group of professionals. If you want to check out who we are, our mug shots and email addresses are here. You are welcome to contact us at any time with questions, comments and ideas—we would love to hear from you. We look forward to meeting you or catching up at a SIG in the next couple of months.

Onwards!
