About NOADD
The Network of Associate and Deputy Deans (NOADD) gives members the opportunity to meet and discuss issues of the day, to collaborate and network, and to build on their professional development.
NOADD also plays an important role in the increasingly high profile advocacy work undertaken by DASSH. NOADD’s network contributes regularly to DASSH’s overall policy positions and submissions.
Regular events are held to workshop ideas and build practical skills: how to pitch to mainstream media; How to better promote equity and inclusion; Be challenged by the thinking of peers from around Australia and New Zealand.
Within NOADD, there are six Special Interest Groups which allow members to focus their engagement in the Network on the topics that are most important to them.
