NZ Chapter Events… Join Us!
Members of each Chapter are invited to a wide range of Professional Development and Networking opportunities throughout the year. These include Chapter-specific events, which are mostly delivered in-person, as well as offerings open to members across all Chapters. Chapter-wide opportunities are typically delivered via online Webinars and Special Interest Groups (SIGs), but also include major in-person events such as the International Conference and Advancement Practitioner Training.
Chapter events are a great opportunity to meet colleagues who work in the same areas and streams as you, to ask questions, network with other professionals and leave feeling inspired!
