The working groups
The seven working groups are:
- Strategy Group - To discuss the strategic priorities of the ASC, where the association should strive to be in 10 years, and to develop a forward looking and aspirational strategic plan.
- Finance Group - To discuss financial issues and set a forward plan for stability, recommend income generation to fund projects and staff, and support other projects with the Treasurer.
- Membership and Branch Group - To determine who the members are, why they become members, and how we can better provide value for their membership. In addition, this group will make recommendations on how to support local branches more effectively.
- Communications Group - Building off the work from other groups, this team will seek to find ways we can better communicate with each other and the wider community.
- Stakeholder Engagement Group - To discuss international and national engagement with other businesses and organisations, and to develop recommendations on key relationships to foster to best support our strategic goals.
- Awards and Bursaries Group - Investigate the current awards and bursaries landscape in the sector, recommend a suite of supports, and recommend on sponsor opportunities for supporting the awards.
- Events and Conference Group - To recommend and curate a series of nationally relevant and accessible events, and to contribute to conference coordination.
