Professor Steve Smith - Annual Lecture 2009
Network Coordinator's Development Day for Regional Coordinators, Branch Coordinators and SIG Convenors.
The brand new Branch Coordinator Tool Kit was unveiled at the development day, on 20 October 2009, and the day structured around a series of 'business game' type activities linked to business planning, budget planning and costing, event management, and membership recruitment and marketing. Alison Robinson and Brenda Dakers from the AUA National Office also ran ‘Use of the CPD Framework’ and PG Cert sessions. As always, this was a valuable opportunity for all coordinators to network.
