Chapter President’s Report

Dear Educate Plus SA/NT Chapter Members,

I hope this message finds you well and rejuvenated after the festive season. As we step into another year, I wanted to extend a warm welcome to you all and share my excitement for what’s to come.

I also extend a warm welcome to our new Committee Members who joined us in 2023 and thank those who have taken on the role for another exciting year. See who we are, what we do, and how we can help you.

I am not sure what is with 2023, but every time I say the year that we are living in out loud, I must catch myself to make sure I am not mistaken. For some weird reason, 2023 sounds like a distant future to me, and to realise that we are living it, is somehow scary. 

Last October, I was fortunate to attend a workshop about customer experience and Advancement. In the beginning, the presenter asked us to reflect on a time ‘well-spent‘… a simple question that was a gentle reminder that our time on this planet is limited and precious. This opening statement also led us, the participants, to scrutinise everything we do through the lenses of the experience of our stakeholders. It was a great workshop and a principle that I have tried to implement and keep front of mind ever since.

With this premise in mind, our SA/NT Chapter Committee is already working hard to curate experiences worth your time and effort. We aim to provide opportunities for professional development and networking, and for sharing knowledge and ideas. If you would like to bring a matter to our attention or suggest a topic or a speaker you would like to explore this year, feel free to contact me directly via the details below.

I look forward to seeing you all at our upcoming events, and I encourage you to get involved in the Chapter and make the most of your membership.

I wish you all a happy, prosperous and ‘well-spent’ 2023.
