What’s on Your Mind?
Open to all members, What’s on Your Mind sessions are designed to provide opportunities to have an informal chat about all things ECEC. The ACA Victorian Board members will have plenty of topics for discussion. However, this is a free-flowing conversation. Therefore, please bring your own topics & questions.
These networking sessions will be held every second Thursday of each month.
Once you have registered you will receive a Teams link a couple of days prior to the event.
