CPD INFORMATION VIA EMAIL

e-Blast, e-Blast,
Read All About It!

Calling all email addresses! Make sure yours is registered and up-to-date via the DHAA National Branch website. We're starting e-Blasts!

This is a quick and convenient way of keeping you informed of industry changes, employment opportunities and association newsflashes. This is a new website feature for DHAAVB and e-Blast details won’t be sent in hard copy format via the 'postie'.

A few e-Blasts have already gone out and from feedback a few members are having difficulty viewing 2007 Microsoft Office Word documents ('.docx'). With this in mind, the website committee will endeavour to send attachments in 97-2003 Microsoft Office Word ('.doc') format. If anyone has further difficulties please email us via the 'reply' option on your e-Blast or email us at website@dhaavb.asn.au
