The ACS Business Academy launched a new program to help you improve your business. The “Your Business” program is an opportunity for Emerging Business Leaders and Potential Business Leaders in Consulting Surveying Firms to come together over the course of 12 months to connect, learn and review your business with a view to improving profitability and achieve other measures of success. Module 1 starts in late 2019 with the full program running through 2020, 6 modules in total.
On 6 August the ACS NSW State Conference and dinner was held at Parliament House NSW. Delegates heard from a range of speakers, Ministers and Parlimentary Secretarys. Thank you to all for joining us for our special 50th celebration - we look forward to seeing you over the next 50 years!

In the morning prior to our State Conference, the great session with Andrew Geddes held at Holding Redlich Boardroom with emerging firms and specialised firms.
With the ever-changing world of law and its impact on surveying firms, Consulting Surveyors NSW have joined with Holding Redlich for the 2019 Roadshow: Legal Update.
This roadshow will be taken to six different locations across NSW (Wollongong, Port Macquarie, Penrith, Wagga, Orange and Newcastle), giving surveyors from many regions the opportunity to hear about changes in property law and other legal aspects affecting your business.
On 6th March, 53 female students from 14 high schools around NSW gathered at Hyde Park in Sydney for the inaugural Women in Surveying event, organised by the NSW Surveying Taskforce in collaboration with ACS NSW.
They came to hear Narelle Underwood, Surveyor General NSW, and His Excellency General The Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Ret’d), Governor of NSW, present on the Anzac Memorial Project. They experienced some hands-on surveying in Hyde Park and then enjoyed lunch at Daltone House, where industry professionals and educators discussed the surveying profession.
The girls were inspired and their feedback was more than positive. One student from Tamworth commented in a media article that “the day ‘really opened my eyes’ to the possibilities involved in surveying. I hadn't really thought of it as a career option before, but I would definitely like to look into it further now".
The national and regional media was also taken with this event, which was strategically planned for the week of International Women’s Day (Friday 8 March).
The NSW Surveying Taskforce conducted a media campaign to highlight the day - the results of which can be seen in the numerous media articles and interviews below. All of this media exposure helps to build a stronger profile for surveying amongst potential students and parents.

This comprehensive one-day training program is ideal for consulting surveyors who need to write proposals to win work. Whether you’re a seasoned proposal writer, or have never written a proposal before, this workshop will give you a better understanding of what makes a winning proposal and how you can contribute to your firm’s success. Robyn Haydon has worked with many firms to ensure they are winning the jobs that matter
The Bank Holiday Financial Management Seminars and Workshops returned in 2018 with Andrew Geddes. A special roundtable event was also held for our Developing, Growing and Leading Members followed by dinner and the opportunity to solve those difficult problems!
During 2018 ACS NSW traveled around the state visiting surveyors in their hometowns. Increasing Efficiencies in Your Business was the theme of this year's Roadshow which visited Newcastle, Coffs Harbour, Sydney, Wollongong, Albury and Orange.
A highlight in our calendar each year is this special event at Parliament House. This year we had the privilege of engaging with 8 NSW Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries including the Premier, Gladys Berejiklian who was very open to our questions and listened to our comments.

With the continuing investment in infrastructure around the country we want to ensure that our surveyors are being kept up to date on current best practice. Following this workshop, a working group has met to continue our advocacy to ensure accuracy in surveying of our railway network. Special thanks to Mitch Hanlon for this important initiative and David Brown for his expert advice.
This year we partnered with the Growth Faculty to provide an opportunity for our members to hear some great international speakers.
