The accreditation process has commenced with a introductory workshop on the 16th of June attended by some Staff and Committee members. We have a timeline to take us up until the end of October, guiding ECHO's to complete it's part in the process of becoming accredited against the new National Community Housing Standards (2010). The organisation Global-Mark has been chosen to undertake the accreditation process of community housing providers in the ACT. Mr Ben Wong, Program Manager from Global-Mark will oversee this process.
The Blue Gum School is expanding, and ECHO will be moving our office and meeting space to the Downer Business Park on Wednesday 24 February. The new space is not quite as big as our current premises, but it will suit us well. We have the use of a conference room as part of our office rental - so if we are overwhelmed by the attendance at general members meetings we can take over the conference room! Otherwise, we will have two small rooms and one larger room. The new space will ensure we have a secure place for ECHO's records and can continue to maintain tenants' privacy.
