Events
\n<\/strong>Our regional events in March across New Zealand were a resounding success. Thank you to everyone who attended and to our volunteer Committee members. Special thanks to Carolyn Prebble, our Events and Membership sub-committee leader, for her dedication and hard work.<\/p>\n

Three Kiwi members attended the Advancement Practitioner Training (APT) in Brisbane, and over 30 members from Aotearoa New Zealand will attend the Perth International Conference in September. The Educate Plus NZ Chapter supported many members with scholarships and travel grants. If you’re attending, sign up here<\/a> to join our special NZ Chapter dinner.<\/p>\n
