No matter which of the four pillars of advancement we work in, we cannot help but be story tellers if we are to be successful. Of course, the storytelling I refer to would not breach the Educate Plus Codes of Conduct or Ethics, but rather it is storytelling that relates to others that defines our institutions or particular projects in which we are involved. At this year’s International Conference we were fortunate to hear some pretty amazing stories from some wonderful storytellers. Brian Bowman, visiting our shores from Canada, gave us the story of raising $400million over seven years for the development of the Trades & Technology Complex at SAIT Polytechnic in Calgary. That campaign spanned the Global Financial Crisis, with the largest personal gift of $15 million coming at the height of the economic meltdown. Without a compelling story, a campaign of that magnitude simply doesn’t happen. Rebecca Bernstein from the University of Buffalo gave us her insights to the newest storytelling medium – the #hashtag. Whether relating the story of her university’s latest American pro-football draftee or the virality of the ALS/MND Ice Bucket Challenge, Rebecca’s presentation reminded us that, in the electronic era, the way we tell our stories can be as vital as the story itself. Our new Educate Plus Ambassador, Duncan Armstrong’s story of sporting success on the Olympic stage is one of great inspiration. His ability to translate a very personal story into one of a message of motivation to carry with us throughout the conference was amazing. And the truly inspiring story from New Zealand, brought to us by Pat Snedden of the Manaiakalani Educational Trust, tells us that sometimes the best stories are lived out in the most unlikely the great places and brought to reality by the will and determination to achieve an outcome where many think it impossible. skills These, of course, are just some of the multitude of stories that were shared by many hundreds of our members and associates over the course of the International Conference. of our At Educate Plus, we are part of a pretty amazing story right now. On the back of our largest ever International Conference, record levels of membership and the successful launch of accredited training programs, our organisation is well placed to offer unprecedented levels profession of professional development and services to members in the years ahead. As I mentioned over the course of our conference last month, I’m not sure that, when a small number of fundraising practitioners working in the education sector started gathering in Melbourne almost 30 years ago, any of them could have foreseen that they were presiding over the genesis of the vibrant, diverse and mature organisation Educate Plus has become in 2014. I encourage you to be an active part of this continuing story. Your own sharing of experiences and expertise among members at Chapter professional development and networking opportunities adds depth and complexity to our collective story. By your storytelling you contribute to the growth of our profession and provide your colleagues with the motivation to achieve great things for the education sector and its beneficiaries, across Australia and New Zealand. I look forward to hearing your stories through Educate Plus over the coming years. Patrick Kelly F.Edplus Chairman 4 EDUCATE PLUS Save THE DATE!
