Kia ora

With winter solstice behind us, we are looking forward to delivering a dynamic and successful second half of 2018.

The highlight of which is the AuSAE Leadership, Insights and Networking Conference (LINC) in Auckland this September (10-11). Under the theme of Successful Engagement: Sharing Stories, I am looking forward to hearing the stories of the fabulous line of up speakers, and connecting with members, colleagues and peers for what will be an invaluable 2 days. Registrations are now open and I encourage all association professionals at all levels to attend.

With a new board in place and our current strategic plan due to expire at the end of 2018, we will be taking the time in the very near future to review and refine our service offering to our community and to our members. While we will formally reach out to our membership to provide input, I encourage anyone to contact me directly if you have any feedback or ideas that would assist us to be a better organisation for you.

Finally, AuSAE runs a number of social media channels, including a member only Facebook group which facilitates interaction and seek information from your peers. I encourage to you to join, follow, like and contribute to our LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Wishing you a great month ahead.
