End of Year Summit Wrap-up
On Friday November 4th, over 60 Educate Plus members and supporters gathered at the QT Hotel in the city for a day of professional development and networking. These events are the perfect opportunity for members and non-members in the world of Advancement to catch up on what’s happening at other schools and in the industry generally.
The day’s speakers covered a wide variety of topics including How to build your alumni, Managing international marketing and enrolments, Admissions – the customer experience, Fundraising – the need for change, and Marketing strategies in schools. The day concluded with a very entertaining presentation from Mick Colliss, an author, poet and writer at Cooch Creative. It was a wonderful way to end a very productive day and we’d like to extend our thanks to all of the wonderful presenters:
Bianca Coleborn (Concordia Lutheran College), Andrew Sculthorpe (Imageseven), Heiko Plange-Korndoerfer CFRE, FFIA, FAIM Plange-Korndoerfer (Perth Zoo), Georgia Allen (Iona Presentation College), Derryn Belford (StudyPerth) and our own Committee Member Clare Underdown (WA Chapter Committee Member).
Although good presentations are what attracts registrations, it is the catching up and knowledge exchange during the day that often reaps the greatest rewards. With the participants’ experience varying from one to over twenty years, there is so much to share, connections to be made and stories to be told.
By the amount of energy in the room it was clear everyone was very excited to be back engaging face to face and the final word was, we are looking forward to more of this in 2023!
