Is it your turn to help drive the ACT Division?
The ACT Division has made great progress during recent years. Many members have contributed to this progress – building our membership, increasing our visibility in the Canberra community, and providing a varied professional development program. When a committed bunch of people each make a contribution, the total impact is huge.
Our AGM is scheduled for Tuesday 21 February 2011. Is it your turn to help drive the division by contributing on our executive committee? Positions available for nomination include President and Communications Officer.
Please consider nominating for the committee. It’s a great opportunity to build your visibility, understand CDAA, make contacts, expand your thinking, identify opportunities, as well as supporting your colleagues.
