From the CEO December: IAP2A Christmas wishlist

As we draw to the end of a breathtakingly busy year, I’d like to extend a personal thanks to all of our Directors, Ambassadors, trainers, members, sponsors, partners, local network hosts, course participants, staff and everyone who has been part of the IAP2 Australasia family in 2018.

It has been a colossal twelve months for IAP2A, and I’ve mentioned before the VERY ambitious Strategic Review which we launched earlier in 2018 – an ambitious plan taking IAP2A to 2020.

So far, this plan has delivered a partnership with UNESCAP; our first participatory budgeting exercise; the establishment of our Communities of Practice; mentoring program and research advisory work group. In 2019, you can expect to see some exciting announcements including a new research partnership and a new strategic partnership with an aligned association. There will also be more professional development opportunities, and we will be rolling out a business improvement plan to empower members and enable a quality user experience of IAP2A services.

It has been a year of many, many heads, hands and hearts producing thousands upon thousands of small actions, leading to big things being achieved.
