‘Best Ever’ Advancement Practitioner Training!
Without a doubt, the Advancement Practitioner Training that was recently held in Sydney (27-28 March) will be remembered as one of the ‘best ever’ training programs run by Educate Plus … providing two days of engaging and inspiring Professional Development opportunities for 75 Advancement professionals across all 6 Chapters.
Participants from nine schools and colleges across Toowoomba, Sunshine Coast and greater Brisbane, attended the annual Educate Plus APT courses, which spanned the pillars of Admissions, Marketing & Communications, Alumni & Community Relations and Fundraising.
The Marketing & Communications stream was ably led by Queensland contingent, member Nicole de Vries, Director of Brand and Community from the Australian Industry Trade College, and long-time Educate Plus associate and communications expert Suzanne Oxford, from New Word Order. Jeff Buchanan, another Queenslander was also involved in the Fundraising stream.
And … we’ve already received fantastic feedback from new and seasoned practitioners about their experiences across the training sessions.
“I have attended events since ADAPE (showing my age!) and this APT was the most rewarding so far. The presenters were wonderful and so willing to share their strategies and experience. I have over 8 pages of notes alone about the changes I want to enact at the College. Being able to have a day with Ann Badger in a small group session was also invaluable; as well as the fantastic networking and collegial atmosphere the Educate events always provide.”
