An investment in a NOVA Membership or attendance at our events is an investment in your CPD, your ability to story tell, your ability to present, your ability to connect. It has huge benefits for your organisation as well as you personally. Don’t take our word for it - message sent in from one of our network recently: “I am meeting some great people through NOVA. Just thought I would let you know I had a meeting with ICAEW, [and we discussed] my 2023 CPD log. I shared my log and discussed NOVA events - including dinners - and they said they were the type of thing that should be included on a CPD log”. Some of you have your annual renewal coming up from September…. Do let us know if you need a copy of the NOVA Member Deck to support your request for the renewal to be funded via your organisation. This is how a lot of memberships are now funded due to the reputation and benefits of our community. ⭐️ #Development #Leadership #Skills #CPDForAll
