We appreciate your attendance at the AGM to ensure transparent management and continuation of QATA.

We promise you will not be pressured into taking on a role, but now is a great time if you are interested in being more involved in QATA!

At the AGM, all roles will be declared vacant. Being a part of the QATA Executive Committee is a great opportunity to contribute to Visual Art education in Queensland and the advocacy, advice, professional development, networking and opportunities for engagement that QATA provides.  We would love to expand the Executive Committee with new members and roles. If you’ve ever thought you would like to be involved, this is your chance!

The QATA Executive team is currently made up of:

President
Vice President
Treasurer
Secretary
Conference Director
Membership Officer
Professional Development Coordinator
Communications Officer
Resources Coordinator
Primary Coordinator

You can apply for any of these roles, or perhaps a role you think would assist us to achieve our goals, e.g. Regional Cluster Coordinator 😉

These position will commence at the 2022-23 AGM, 12 February.

Perks:

• join a thriving executive to program exciting activities
• have your voice heard as an advocate for arts education across Queensland
• complementary QATA membership during your term of appointment 
• gain experience towards your application for lead teacher or other professional goals
• network with teachers, artists and industry professionals, opening employment opportunities
• probably meet your new best friends.

The roles require:

• an understanding of who QATA is, and why we exist (and also an alignment with our vision)
• approximately two to three hours of work a month
• attendance and contribution to a monthly executive meeting (usually online)
• a commitment to the success of QATACON (hours of work significantly increase immediately before, during and after the conference).

Exiting officers will complete a thorough handover and be available for support as you learn the ropes. Please don’t feel daunted, and shoot any questions to [email protected] or feel free to request a phone call for a chat.

Planning is underway. Lock in your dates now!
Thursday 13, Friday 14, Saturday 15 July.

We have plenty of ways for members to be involved in QATACON this year. You can:

• create the QATACON hero image to feature on the program and marketing
• nominate a student artwork for the QATACON  tote bag
• share in the Educator Showcase
• apply for the Regional Teacher Bursary
  
• Facilitate your regional cluster

Current QATA membership expires February 28. We will send you a reminder when your membership is due for renewal.

Institutional Membership, best suited to schools with 3-5 art staff, is our most popular membership level. We will ask you to add names and emails of Sponsored members when you register. However Sponsored members must use the discount code and complete their own registration process to receive member benefits. We’ll also send them a reminder.

As a QATA member, you have access to member workshops, downloadable resources and videos, plus you can share content with other members through the Downloads page. You can access your current and past invoices, edit your profile and change your password on your Membership Account page. One member registers as the Institutional member and adds up to 4 Institutional Sponsored members during checkout.

Here at QATA, we love to encourage members to share teaching and learning resources for other members to use.

Where is the best place to do this?

On the Downloads page of course.

Did you know, there are some great resources here already that members have exclusive access to. And you can search and filter the selection to find relevant resources.

Any member can do it!
