“The industry has faced many challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the cancellation of face-to-face networking and events,” said chief executive Prue Willsford. “We understand ANZIIF’s importance to continue supporting industry with access to professional development and educational learning material anywhere, anytime.
“I’m proud to say ANZIIF is at the forefront of driving effective professional development and online learning. Our professional qualifications and learning material is all online, which ensures that learning and professional development can continue during this unprecedented time.”
Willsford added that the professional association has transitioned its in-person events to virtual webinars, enabling ANZIIF to sustain connections among members despite the current health and economic crisis which has changed the way we interact with others.
The CEO also noted: “Our online members centre continues to bring members and industry a wide range of informative and topical content. We have been delighted to see a significant increase in engagement through online content which is testament to our industry’s commitment to professional development.”
As for those who aren’t reaping these benefits yet, Willsford has extended an invitation.
“Now is the perfect time to join ANZIIF’s community,” she asserted, “and make use of our online learning. ANZIIF is offering pro-rata membership for the remainder of 2020 (40% off the full-year fee), before the end of the financial year.”
