As mentioned in previous blogs, the national committee were in the process of creating working groups focussed on different areas of improvement within the ASC with the intention to redefine ourselves, our strategic direction and increase overall engagement and value of the membership. After our quick poll, we’ve decided to pivot and change the style of engagement to address the interest and availability of members to participate.
As such, instead of the original concept of working groups, national will run a series of facilitated roundtable discussions where it is encouraged for members past, present and future to attend, along with representatives from organisations within the sector. After these sessions, national will collate the feedback and identify the future direction of the ASC.
In these sessions, participants will discuss prompting questions where their answers will be compiled and sent to the committee for further discussion and where possible, implementation.
These sessions will be broken up into four sessions starting at 3pm AEST | 2:30pm ACST | 1pm AWST:
Roundtable 1 (June 18. 3-5:30pm AEST): Membership & Branches
Roundtable 2 (June 19. 3-5:30pm AEST): Conferences and Events
Roundtable 3 (July 16. 3-5:30pm AEST): Communications
Roundtable 4 (July 17. 3-5:30pm AEST): Awards & Bursaries
Attendance is not mandatory but strongly encouraged to ensure you get the most out of your membership. All sessions will be run as individual events, so you can hop in and out as your schedule allows, but if you can attend them all, please do! If you would like to have your voice heard however are unable to attend the related session, please still register as we hope to send communications prior/post the session which will allow for further engagement during/after the event.
All sessions will be run via Zoom, please register via the above links and share with your related communities and encourage attendance from your organisation, where relevant. It is strongly recommended that corporate members have at least one representative from their organisation attend.
If you have any questions in the lead up please feel free to send an email to: president@asc.asn.au
