LIANZA Conference - BOKs for those Professionally registered

If you are are coming to LIANZA 2009 Conference and you are professionally registered, you’ll be pleased to know that we’ve added a section in the Delegates Handbook to help you record information for your Body of Knowledge (BOK) and to remind you to record things that would be useful in relation to your Professional Registration.
Personally, I’d also recommend heading along to the workshop on Tuesday 13th October at 11am with Anahera Morehu and Eddie Neha about Mātauranga Māori and Professional Registration.
For those of you not yet registered, here’s the lowdown from the LIANZA website to get you motivated!
We also strongly encourage you to come along to the LIANZA Awards on Monday afternoon, at 4.15pm to celebrate those folks who have been awarded Associateships and Fellowships. You might be surprised at who you may see there
