It's time to place value on your professional development

24 Apr 2015 11:13 AM | Louise Stokes

With just eight weeks to go until ACE 2015, now is the time to make time for your professional development.

Putting aside time for professional development can be difficult, though when we consider the flow-on effects to our members, colleagues and stakeholders, we remember the benefits far outweigh the perceived inconvenience. After all, professional development forms strategy, has the power to focus teams, enables problem solving and supports collaborative learning.

If you are still not convinced, take a moment to discover the key professional development sessions below that will be covered at the not-for-profit run, 2015 AuSAE Conference and Exhibition (ACE) this June 18-19.
