Message from the CEO

Greetings to all our New Zealand members. This year looks as though it is going to be another exciting one for you all. Your new President, Janice Lapwood, and your Committee are currently planning a range of activities to be held throughout the year, culminating in your National Conference to be held 24/25 August. New Zealand membership continues to grow and is currently at a record level of 144.

I will be over in New Zealand on 15 and 16 March to meet with and support your new Committee and to continue planning for the next International Conference, to be held in Auckland in 2018. We have filled most of the International Conference Committee roles, but are still looking for people to take on the; Alumni Schools, Admissions and Marketing & Communications Stream Leader positions. If any of you are interested in being considered for these roles, please drop me an email: neil@educateplus.edu.au

Please be aware that now that you are amalgamated, my team and I are here to support you. If you ever need help, resources, training etc please just contact us. Our Operations Manager is Tina Fleming – who looks after all membership and member support matters, Naomi De Rosa is our new Marketing & Communications Manager who compiles all newsletters, publications etc and Michelle Strawbridge looks after all Financial matters.  Their contact details are: tina@educateplus.edu.au naomi@educateplus.edu.au michelle@educateplus.edu.au

I wish you all the best for the year and look forward to meeting many of you within the next few weeks.

With kind regards

Neil McWhannell JP GAICD
