November 2015 NEWSLETTER c/o ACCS, 10H Centrepoint Business Park, Oak Drive, Dublin 12 Foreword Autumn 2015 has been positive so far with growth in the economy finally filtering down Officers to small businesses and training providers that depend on the disposable income of ordinary people. Feedback from schools around the country indicates a noticeable increase in registrations and a return to growth in demand for hobby and leisure courses. Our Conference this year will focus on assessing the damage done to our educational sector during the times of retrenchment and formulating a position from where we can rebuild our sector to a point where it can once again offer a quality service to an ever- changing and more demanding public. The conference is also an important opportunity to exchange thoughts and ideas with other directors experiencing the same problems and issues as other schools. This conference is the only professional development opportunity available to Directors of Fintan Kemple, NACED Chairperson
