From the Chapter Vice President

Kia ora koutou, 

A huge welcome to this edition of our NZ Chapter eNewsletter!  

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, as the new Vice President of the Educate Plus New Zealand Chapter.  As General Manager and International Director at John McGlashan College in Dunedin, I have been part of Educate Plus since first coming into the Advancement sector nearly ten years ago, serving on the Chapter Committee as Treasurer, a Committee member and now Chapter Vice President.   

The collegiality and professional learning this organisation provides, always astounds me and this edition of the eNewsletter is no different.  It is designed to keep you updated on upcoming events, valuable insights, and opportunities for connection across New Zealand. We’re committed to supporting each of you in your professional learning – fostering a strong network where ideas and experiences can be shared. 

I am so incredibly passionate about the work we do, and I’m looking forward to seeing many of you at our future gatherings, whether in person at our upcoming NZ Chapter Summit in Wellington or online. Thank you to the NZ Chapter Committee who are working hard behind the scenes to bring the Summit to you. With Early Bird closing this coming Thursday 10 July, I encourage you to Register, so that you too can take advantage of the discounted rates and connect with colleagues from across New Zealand. The people are what makes our Chapter truly special, so thanks to each and every one of you for your involvement in the sector and with Educate Plus.   

Kā mihi nui, 

Kirstyn Sandall
