NADO UPDATE
Dear Colleagues
As the Christmas Break is fast approaching I would like to take
this opportunity to give you all a brief update about NADO.
Since NADO officially began to offer membership in October,
applications have been steadily coming in to the NADO
Administrative Centre here at the University of Lincolnshire &
Humberside. I am pleased to report that there has been an
equal number of applications from both the HE & FE sectors,
and that we have
received applications from Northern Ireland, Wales and
Scotland as well as interest from Australia and Eire! Already,
NADO is attracting a broad membership base, which is
providing a sound foundation for it to become the representative
voice for people working in our profession.
I would urge those of you that have not already done so to
become a member as soon as possible as only members are
eligible to stand or vote for election and nominations will be
required shortly.
AGM/CONFERENCE
I am delighted to inform you that NADO’s first conference and
AGM, ‘Raising the Standard’, will be held on 20-21 March
2001 at the University of Lincolnshire & Humberside’s City
Campus in Hull. Although details are to be confirmed we can
promise you that this will be an event not to be missed as it will
be of relevance and interest to all of you working in the sector.
This event also includes NADO’s first AGM where members
may elect officers to the Executive Committee. Further details
of the nomination and voting process will be issued in the New
Year and will be included in the next edition of NADO News.
Places for this event will be highly sought after as the cost of the
event is intended to be very modest. The event will be open to
any interested delegate, but NADO members will benefit from a
further reduced conference fee.
Finally, the NADO Working Party members and management
would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very
happy Christmas and a less stressful New Year!
Do keep those applications coming in!
