Are your communication preferences up-to-date?

I often receive emails and phone calls from members regarding the types of communications they receive and frequently it’s in relation to not receiving anything other than membership renewal reminders etc. A quick check of your communications preferences in My CA is always incredibly worthwhile. It will ensure you are opted in (or out) of the right communications, newsletters, events, products/offers for you. Check out the My CA Preferences overview page and the sub-pages to ensure you’re receiving what’s important to you. I publish an informal email each Friday with up-to-date and key news articles, submissions and events from CA and other organisations/government departments. If you are interested in receiving these weekly updates, please email me.

North Queensland Gala Dinner

Each year we try to evolve and build on our local social events. We’ve listened to feedback from members on timing, location and types of events. Our Gala Dinners in 2024 are designed to bring together the local CA member communities of our regions for a social evening coupled with acknowledging members with key milestones. In a few weeks our first Gala Dinner of 2024 will kick-off in Townsville and we hope the new format that focusses on a broader social evening whilst still recognising key milestones will be a hit with members.

If there’s anything your professional body should know about, please do get in touch on (07) 3233 6509 or [email protected].

Regards,
Mark Doorly
Queensland Regional Manager
