Queensland President’s Report | Welcome
Whether you are ‘Term 2’, ‘mid-Semester’ or nearing ‘EOFY’ in your advancement role cycle, I hope that your goals are materialising (even if not exactly as you first planned!).
Recently over thirty Fundraising and Alumni practitioners attended our first 2018 PD presented by Global Philanthropic. It was held at UQ and the feedback showed it was a resounding success – Read the full articles here:
Successful Engagement with Leadership
I am thrilled to announce that under the management of Committee Member Claire Grlj (Leading Marketing Solutions), our Regional initiatives in Toowoomba (Tuesday 22 May) and Rockhampton (Monday 30 July) are now open for registrations. These PDs will deliver great value to members and ‘prospective members’ as each presenter brings their deep learnings and experiences from various advancement roles across the four ‘pillars’, as well as across various levels and institutions (see below).
I encourage our Admissions and Marketing/Communication specialists to plan to attend the PD on 7 June hosted at Lourdes Hill Girls College – more details to come.
It’s my pleasure to announce that the 2018 Educate Plus International Conference (Auckland) QLD Scholarship Winners are Alicia Edwards (Clayfield College), Kelly Edwards (Brisbane Boys College), Lucinda Gray (Citipointe Christian College), Justin Lippiatt (Cooloola Christian College), Kristen Williams (St Luke’s Anglican School, Bundaberg) and Maddy Williams-Ritchie (St Andrews Anglican, Perigan Springs). I congratulate each person as it will make all the difference in them attending and I know how inspired they will return to their institution. Note: The Early bird rate has been extended so it’s not too late to register and save!
As always, we are grateful for the ongoing support of our sponsors and I’d like to recognize and highlight Australian Catering Services and MMG Education. Please consider them for any opportunities you may have in the future.
Remember to make the most of your membership and follow us on Social Media for the latest updates
