| Hi :Person_firstname:
The response to the #redandblackcouncilchallenge has been amazing. We estimate that at least half of all New Zealand councils (and one Australian council) have or are going to do the challenge - one council's challenge efforts even made their local paper.
We've done a montage of some of the challenge photos coming in from councils round the country in our Facebook page and in the header image for this newsletter. We know that affected councils appreciate all the support. Please keep the photos coming.
2017 Professional Administrators Forum (previously the EA & PA Forum)
We're aware that this is one of the few Forums we run annually that has quite a bit of competition from private providers so, while it's not on till 12 & 13 May we are keen to spread the word - after all it is not only specifically tailored for local government staff, it is the only forum where those in these roles have the opportunity to network with and learn from others in the sector.
We have great speakers such as productivity guru, Debbie Mayo-Smith and My Food Bag founder, Nadia Lim presenting. The full programme is available here. Registrations for this two day event are priced at only $835+ GST (for members) or $955+GST (non-members).
