ACEL 2015

The 2015 ACEL National Conference celebrates excellence in leadership. In our pursuit of excellence, educational leaders are Courageous and Committed.

Courageous and Committed leaders:

• Act decisively, empowering others to utilise their talents, remain focused and to make a difference.

• Innovate boldly, respecting tradition and remaining future-focused and relevant in the pursuit of a vision.

• Make decisions fearlessly, standing firm on what is important and what makes a difference.
