Happy New Year!
The team at Educate Plus wish you a happy and successful year and look forward to supporting you in 2019.
The year promises to be an extremely busy and productive one for us, with a record range of professional development opportunities available for you.
Professional development opportunities in 2019 include our Certified Advancement Practitioner Training, Chapter Conferences, Regional Activities, Master Classes along with the launch of our new Advancement Essentials course for current and aspiring institutional leaders.
During the past year we have been looking for ways to enhance our Mentoring Program and I am delighted to announce that the Board has invested in what we believe to be the leading online mentoring platform in the world. The program has incredible features and resources and will be of real benefit to all our members – both mentors and mentees. Details regarding the launch will shortly be sent to members.
Planning is already well underway for the 2020 International Conference to be held in Adelaide.
