President’s welcome

Hello to our members, both long-standing and new!

Well, after an unfortunate last-minute cancellation of our Networking PD, we are looking forward to getting this event back on the calendar. It’s going to be a great session, and we hope to see as many of you there as possible. Click here to register your attendance. 

The committee have been working to put together fantastic PD opportunities for the remainder of this year and are excited to be launching those events shortly. We are also looking forward to moving away from the online sessions and are excited to be face to face with our members once again.

It has been wonderful to receive several messages from our members requesting specific professional development opportunities. We would love to hear from you if you are looking for specific training on something related to your area of work to help develop your skill-set, or if there is a particular topic in which you would like more training. Please contact me directly at susie.gill@stcatherines.uwa.edu.au if you would like to put in a request. This organisation has always been guided by its members, and we would love to hear from you!

I would also direct you to the Resources and Member’s Area of the Educate Plus website, which feature a plethora of shared knowledge – I would encourage you to take the time to peruse the offerings available in these areas.

One last reminder that our International Conference is going ahead from September 6 to 9 in Adelaide. For those of you hoping to convince your organisation to support your attendance, you may be interested in using this Convince Your Boss proposal that you can take straight to the top! I hope to see as many of you there as possible.

We have recently set up a WA Chapter Educate Plus Group on Facebook. This is a private platform for our WA members to chat about all things Advancement. Please join us in this group, ask questions, discuss any issues you may have in your role and share insights and achievements with other WA members.

I hope you enjoy reading the latest WA Chapter Newsletter, click on the topics on the right-hand-side of this page, or the arrows at the bottom of the page, to read the articles and information. As always, please feel free to contact me if there’s anything in particular you’d like included in the future.
