Presidents Report | 2021 AGM<\/h1>\n

2021 it\u2019s a wrap!<\/p>\n

First and foremost, I would like to honour our 2021 NSW\/ACT Chapter Committee \u2013 this time last year we were looking forward to 2021 and all it would offer us post Covid. But Covid had more in store for us! Despite this the Chapter Committee stayed the course\u2026they delivered on each of their portfolios with professionalism and success, they contributed articles to the newsletter, welcomed new members and they all offer their expertise as mentors. But most of all they continued to be a sounding board and brains trust for each other \u2013 this is the true value and spirit of Educate Plus.<\/p>\n

So, to our VP Lyn O\u2019Neil, Secretary Jackie, Treasurer Grant, Yvette, Kelly, Geoff, Philippa, Hanna, Lyn J, Sandy, Karen, Dana. I salute you \u2013 you all have my deepest admiration.<\/p>\n

You would think that 2021 would have been a little stagnant in growth and engagement as NSW\/ACT faced almost four months of lockdown \u2013 but no, with the support of the wonderful Head Office team our Chapters contribution shone through.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. And finally, our engaged and effective committee growing in size in 2022 as we welcome three new committee members. Welcome to the team Clare, Paul and LeVina!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                To the Head Office: Tina, Sona and Sheila \u2013 thank you for everything. You have so much to juggle but you keep those balls in the air and for this we are truly grateful.<\/p>\n

                I would like to thank and acknowledge our outgoing CEO of 10 years. Neil\u2019s welcoming smile, booming voice and enthusiastic support of our volunteers will be truly missed. I think we can all share a story or two of Neil\u2019s humour and tomfoolery that may or may not have always turned out as planned.<\/p>\n

                Finally, a thank to our partners without their financial support our members organisation would not be able to continue to grow.<\/p>\n

                It has been my deepest honour to represent our Chapter and lead our committee over the past few years. As my role on the Educate Plus Board has grown, I thank the commitment of Lyn and Yvette to step up and lead our passionate and compassionate Chapter in 2022. We have an exciting couple of years ahead with the International Conference to look forward to in Adelaide and our Chapter Conference on the horizon in 2023 in Canberra. See you there!<\/p>\n
