QLD Regional Membership Opportunity Tropical North Queensland Townsville Outback Queensland Whitsundays Mackay Capricorn Gladstone Bundaberg Fraser Coast Sunshine Coast South West Queensland Gold Coast www.educateplus.edu.au Introduction Thank you for the opportunity to introduce you to Educate Plus and outline the benefits of your institution becoming a regional member of our organisation. Firstly I would like to provide you with a little background on Educate Plus. Educate Plus was formed 30 years ago as the Association of Development & Alumni Professionals in Education (ADAPE) Australasia. A need existed to provide a network for the professionals being attracted to the education sector to advance schools, universities and colleges, initially through fundraising and subsequently across a range of non- academic functions, e.g. alumni, enrolments, marketing and communication. Educate Plus today is a forward thinking, not-for-profit organisation committed to serving, supporting and assisting members by providing professional development, promoting a code of professional conduct and sharing best practice. Educate Plus seeks to provide unrivalled networking opportunities, affordable training, resources, mentoring and a wider appreciation and understanding of the Educational Advancement profession. Educate Plus is recognised as the only Australasian professional body for Educational Advancement professionals, representing the views of its membership to government, heads of institutions, business managers and education professionals. We also seek to represent the views of its membership in order to influence policy and regulation of the profession. In September 2018, the Biennial Educate Plus International Conference attracted over 700 industry professionals from across Australasia as well as prominent guest speakers and practitioners from North America, the UK, Asia and New Zealand. Our Chapter (State) Conferences, professional development seminars and webinars feature local and national professionals from our field who share their insights into best practice across their respective fields of expertise with our local members. Every second year, each Chapter hosts a conference in their state.
