Happy holidays everyone!
It's been a year like no other and it's time for a break. No matter how you plan to celebrate and enjoy the holidays, we hope you have a happy, healthy and restful time. Thank you all so much for your support over 2020. We look forward to returning with more ideas to grow your career in 2021.
In the meantime, here's our final contribution for the year: some tips to help you get 2021 off to a good start and a wealth of Information to help you #getcertified.

Expecting a message from the Chair?
|
|
|
Instead of a traditional holiday message & year-end recap, we wanted to switch it up a little. Thanks to the wonderful suggestion by Wayne Aspland (who serves as our Director of Strategic Communication) the APAC Board has instead shared their personal thoughts on what they'd like to do more of this coming year. Hint: It's not what you think.
Happy holidays <<First Name>>!

Go here to read the ten tips our erstwhile Board came up with.
