Dear Members,<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

For those working in schools, it may feel like a lifetime ago that we began the 2025 year, but the start of a new year always brings fresh aspirations and a pathway to achieving our goals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your dedicated Chapter Committee of 17 (see below!) has planned a dynamic year of Professional Development, featuring Coffee Catch-ups across Brisbane, Toowoomba, and Townsville, our much-anticipated biennial Summit (ahead of the 2026 International Conference in Brisbane), and our strongly attended Special Interest Group sessions. We look forward to welcoming you to these events.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m also thrilled to extend a warm welcome back to <\/span>advancedlife<\/span><\/b><\/a>, our 2025 Chapter Sponsor, and to <\/span>Giving Architects <\/span><\/b><\/a>and McCrindle<\/a> <\/span><\/b>who are both joining us as Chapter Professional Development Sponsors. Their invaluable support strengthens our Community, and I encourage you to explore the exceptional services they offer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A special thank you to our QLD Chapter members <\/span>Nicole De Vries, David Miles, Bianca Coleborn, <\/span><\/b>and to Queensland professionals Suzanne Oxford (<\/span><\/b>New Word Order), and Jeff Buchanan (<\/span><\/b>Fundraising Consultant), who presented at the recent <\/span>Advancement Practitioner Training courses in Adelaide<\/span><\/b>. We appreciate your expertise and contributions!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking ahead, next week we are hosting the first QLD Chapter Coffee Catch-Ups<\/a><\/strong> for the year, being held in one of 6 convenient locations:<\/span><\/p>\n
