At the Women in Education forum and dinner in Port Macquarie in August Suzanne Penson, President of the Mid North Coast Branch will provide the opening address.
The guest speaker is Associate Professor Penelope (Pep) Serow, Project Leader of the Nauru Teacher Education Project, University of New England. Pep teaches Mathematics education to preservice and in service teachers within primary, secondary, and postgraduate programs.
