About the Branch Executive Committee

 

The Canberra Branch Executive Committee (BEC) provides strategy, advocacy, and advice on the future direction of ACS Canberra Branch.

 

The focus points for the BEC are:

  • Acting as ambassadors or advocates for the ACS.
  • Provide strategy and advice on ICT matters, the profession and market intelligence
  • Service our members and assist them in advancing their chosen career paths
  • Provide thought leadership and advocacy to governance and the local ICT community.

BEC members are available to contact via email or at in person meetings.  If you have an interest in becoming a BEC member, please take the time to speak with current members.  The ACS Canberra BEC elections are held annually in April-June.

 

Local Resources

Mentoring matters. The purpose of ACS Canberra Mentoring Program is to provide an opportunity for members to help members; to connect individuals with knowledge and experience in their field with those seeking advice and guidance to develop their careers.

 

To participate, members provide details via an application process that identifies their needs.

 

Once this is completed, the applications are assessed to produce possible Mentor and Mentee matches.

 

The Canberra Mentoring Program runs twice per year. The duration of the program is six (6) months.

 

The 1st round of the program starts from February to July, and the 2nd round starts from August to January each year. If you are interested in becoming a mentor or mentee, please check your ACS emails regularly, as the application normally will open in December for round one and July for the round two programs.
