Seasons Greetings & Networking Event wrap-up
What a great way to mark the end of a successful and energy-filled year for the NSW Division of the CDAA – with a flurry of speed networking, celebrations of lucky door prize and winning coveted Christmas raffle prizes!
Our sincere thanks to Careers FAQs, Jurlique Mid City Centre, Sheike Me Up, and Barebones Career & Management Consulting for their generous donations to the Christmas Raffle.
All that attended our end-of-year celebration agreed that it was a wonderful night, with an electric energy, with many a party-goer staying well past the evening closing time. It was also a great opportunity to build valuable networks for 2011.
Thank you to all of our members for making this year such a great one for the NSW Division. We look forward to seeing you all again for 2011 even bigger and better than 2010!
At this time of year it would be remiss of us not to wish every one of our NSW members all the very best for the celebrations of the Festive Season.
With warmest regards,
NSW CDAA Committee
Defence Force Recruiting (DFR) – what would you like to see in 2011?

If there are any events or activities that you would like to attend, please forward them to Cindy Hastings - cindy@employmentchoice.com.au, indicating the location that you would like to see the events held. This will help Cindy plan and coordinate with DFR for next year’s calendar.

We want YOU - Join the NSW CDAA Division Committee
The NSW CDAA Division Committee is a group of dedicated, professionals who volunteer their time to shape the PD events, Reinvent Your Career Expo, and NSW newsletter that you see each year.
We are lead by our NSW President Emma Walsh, Director of mums@work and passionate about further widening the scope of services we provide in the NSW Division. She is joined by a group of Career Practitioners, both young and experienced who add a range of different perspectives to guide the work of the division.
But there is one essential ingredient missing from our group – YOU!
We are looking for talented and enthusiastic members to join us to make 2011 our most successful year yet. We are looking for Career Practitioners from all areas of NSW to strengthen our work across the state and the Sydney area. We want committee members across the state, including the CBD, Western Suburbs, or Regional areas. If you have thought about being more involved in the CDAA, then this is your year.
