Wellington Networking Breakfast

Some 20 of our Wellington based Educate Plus members had a wonderful breakfast meeting on the 25 March. Generously hosted by our Queen Margaret College colleagues, the networking event was a great way to connect with fellow advancement colleagues from other institutions being the first get together of the year in the region. Those who attended had lock down stories to share and exciting events planned ahead for in their schools and universities.

Otago Regional Networking event

The Otago Chapter was delighted to meet on a wet and windy morning for coffee. Participants included Educate Plus members from the University of Otago, John McGlashan College and Saint Hilda’s Collegiate School and guests from the Canon Foundation and the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra.

It was a fantastic morning to swap fundraising stories and exchanges ideas and learn from best practice. NZ Committee Members Graeme Mullin, Shelagh Murray and Kirstyn Sandall welcomed the group to the Otago Business School.
