Rachel Ward, Learning and Development Manager
The first Personal Assistant to the Finance Director Regional meeting was held at Liverpool John Moore’s University this month and PA’s were invited from across the North West. It was very much a trial but the meeting was considered a success. Topics covered on the day included networking, the changing role of the PA, development opportunities, and examples of useful resources and shared learning. There were also some points raised to BUFDG about how we could be of further support.
The biggest positive as you may expect, was the opportunity for the PA’s to speak to and develop a network of individuals in a similar role. Thank you to Susan Rosin (LJMU) for the idea and leading on this and also to Kathleen Parker (Lancaster University), Ros Ballinger (University of Manchester), Sinead Logan (University of Salford) and Tammy Cooke (Manchester Metropolitan University) for your input.
If you would like to know more or are interested in a regional FD PA meeting in your area, please contact Rachel.
