ICS staff and management wish our friends, industry colleagues, delegates
and supporters to our Indigenous conferences a great and prosperous New Year
2018! ICS success is based upon our principle of trusting our culture and
listening and adhering to our grassroots, community controlled grounding and
as part of this, our future planning is open to input from communities and
grassroots individuals. With this in mind, we are extremely keen to receive
input and ideas of topics of concern from around Australia which may not
have the chance to be addressed in the previous year's conference topics and
agenda.

We consider ourselves to be privileged to meet such talented, diverse and
professional individuals and dynamic groups last year. We wish to say thank
you and our heartfelt gratitude to everyone for your dedication in closing
the gap. Moreover, we look forward to working with individuals, community
controlled organizations, governments and non-government organisations in a
not too distant future. With your support, we will strive to making 2018 an
even more meaningful year in professional education for our mob! So, be
proactive in closing the gap! Submit your entry NOW!
