08.01.2022 IMPORTANT UPDATE: December Leadership Workshops Rescheduled to 2021. Since launching the Leadership Workshop Series at our AGM on 13 November, it’s fair to say a lot has happened in South Australia. Last week’s lockdown and then easing of restrictions over the weekend has created uncertainty which has unfortunately impacted our plans for the December workshops.... While it’s hoped that we’ll see a further easing of restrictions on December 1, we have decided to play it safe and reschedule the planned December workshops to February and March 2021. This will hopefully also allow us to accommodate more attendees. The January 20 workshop and February 3 workshop are unaffected. REGISTRATION INFORMATION: Anyone who registered for the first two workshops on Governance or Specialised Housing, is asked to re-register for the new dates in February/March: https://fal.cn/3bNfC Anyone who registered for the January/February workshops on Finance and Strategic Development are unaffected by this change. To find out more and register for the 2021 Leadership Workshop Series events and dates, please visit the dedicated landing page on our website: https://fal.cn/3bNfD
