Have your say! CIPS Future Strategy: ANZ

Taking place via Zoom on Tuesday 26th September from 5:00pm NZDT.

If you are not located in NZDT, please convert to your local time zone.

CIPS is in planning mode as we look ahead to develop our future strategy.  A really important component of that is what our members want and need from us.

With that in mind we are delighted to invite you to a dedicated workshop session to have your say! These sessions will be run by your Membership Committee Representative, with members of the CIPS Executive team and Global Board of Trustees in support. Initially we are looking ahead 5 years, but we welcome the discussion. 

If you are interested in participating, simply register here for your regional session and come ready to share. If the timing of this does not work with you, please feel free to join another regional session or email haveyoursay@cips.org to share your thoughts with CIPS directly.
