From the editors virtual desk
Hi everyone, well it has been a bit of a quiet week for me this week, unfortunately I got a bit sick and ended up having to rest. It did give me some time to catch up though on a few things and with my course next week on VCAC I am feeling quite well prepared.
Next week it will be July and the middle of the year already, it has been an amazingly quick year and one that I have found particularly productive.
For those of you that do not know I have started blogging on LinkedIn. Here is a recent article I wrote and I hope to wrote more. Feel free to follow me or add me as a connection if we are not already connected.
Thanks to everyone who has helped contribute to the newsletter over the past 6 months. As you can see I am doing some remodelling with the addition of a few new section I introduced you to last week so I hope the new format as it evolves works out better for you. I have added a new section this week called GLOBAL EVENTS which is where I will sit events that are of a global nature. They may not be in your timezone but they will we on Webex which should allow you to participate if you are able to
Please send me your feedback on the new changes or anything you wish.
Have a great week everyone.
