President’s message

Hi Everyone

I hope you are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel of 2020! What a year. I want to acknowledge all of you in our profession who have performed above and beyond this year and thank you for your continued support of Educate Plus. 

At the AGM last month, we formed your 2021 Queensland Chapter Committee. We farewelled Nicole Wykes who has stepped down after many years of stellar service thank you again Nicole for your outstanding service – you will be missed. We welcomed three new committee members Sasha McCarthy, Claire Henkey and Stefanie Way. After meeting last week for a planning session, we have put together some great networking and professional development opportunities for 2021. 

We have been lucky enough to start face-to-face meetings again and plan to deliver the networking Special Interest Group (SIG’s) events, Professional Development sessions and the International Conference in September. We will also travel to Mackay and Toowoomba to connect with our regional members. 

I invite you to get your diaries out and put these events into your schedule now. We look forward to a fantastic year of networking, learning and collegiality in 2021. 

On behalf of the Queensland Chapter Committee, I wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas, and a restful break.

Sue Russell
QLD Chapter President
