Chapter President’s Welcome

Welcome to the first Educate Plus NZ Chapter e-news of 2020! We trust that you have all hit the ground running and are well-immersed in the excitement of the year ahead. An extra special welcome to our new members! We look forward to connecting with and getting to know you.

As advancement professionals we know our communities well, and you have no doubt been involved in start of the year special events. You may also be assisting with communications and responsiveness relating to a crisis situation. Many of our institutions and organisations are impacted by the developing international situation surrounding the coronavirus. Don’t forget that other Educate Plus members may have faced similar challenges before you and would be happy to share their knowledge if you reach out. We have our LinkedIn page, NZ Chapter Closed Facebook Group and of course the website to assist in making contact with other members.

Educate Plus represents a network of members renown for sharing ideas and experiences, now is a great time to think about professional development and make sure this is included in your diaries. Time to make sure your own development is scheduled in alongside those important events!

This year, we are pleased to deliver you a broad range of professional development and networking opportunities to help you in your work and aid you in your professional knowledge and experience. The NZ Executive Committee is here to serve you.

We look forward to meeting you during the course of the year.

Naomi Wilde,

NZ Chapter President
