I am truly honoured to be Chair of ADAPE 2010 Adelaide. Having had the privilege of being at the first Conference in Hobart in 1990 where ADAPE finally came of age as a professional association, I have long had an interest in the development of our profession and its practitioners. Experienced and beginner practitioners will each have their own specially crafted segments as a focus at the commencement of the conference.
The SA/NT Chapter is excited about the program for 2010 which will focus on a number of new technologies in our workplace, with the application of them being utilised regularly throughout the conference. We are planning for a vibrant people centred time in Adelaide. People, Philanthropy and Promotion are the main conference themes, with issues such as fundraising, marketing, enrolments, communications, community relations and alumni engagement fitting within these three key headings. We will also look at management and leadership as well as speculate on the future, just to keep us all on our toes! Our aim is to run a 'Green' conference and we hope to lessen our environmental footprint as much as possible.
My experience ranges over 25 years in advancement with educational, not for profit and community organisations. I am fortunate to have had a background in the development of a number of not for profit projects Australia wide and with senior posts in government and education sectors. Being awarded as a Fellow of ADAPE in 2008 was a special privilege.
2010 will be the celebration of 20 years of professionalism for our organisation – a fantastic milestone of achievement for development professionals throughout Australasia! Let’s celebrate whilst charting the next 20 years!
