Upcoming Community of Practice Meeting Schedule (September)

Sep 14, 2023

August and September so far have been positively thrilling with the amount of engagement and collaboration we are already seeing in the Community of Practice groups inside the live meetings and also on the forums as a result.

All of the groups that have already held a meeting over the last 6-weeks are working between members to determine the scope, purpose and frequency of their meetings and we will be updating the CoP information pages and posting the next upcoming meeting schedule as it becomes available for the next round of meetings held before the holiday season and beginning once more in Q1 2024.

We have four more CoP meetings commencing Monday 18 September with the Legal Practice & Policy CoP.

It’s not too late to join in on the upcoming CoP meetings, simply request to join the relevant forum and you’ll be added to the meeting invitation. We’re looking forward to seeing all of your smiling faces in these upcoming meetings!

Please note: All members must be registered on the AELERT website to access the CoP forums and join network groups. If you require any assistance, please contact the AELERT Leadership Team today.
