Role
The Patron is a senior and respected member of the tertiary education sector in Australasia, who has consented to be identified with ATEM, and to assist in the development and promotion of ATEM. The Patron will have links and contacts which are of immense benefit to ATEM in Australasia.
The Patron understands and publicly supports the role of ATEM in the sector as the professional association for all those who manage and administer tertiary institutions in Australasia.
One specific public role which the Patron has agreed to fill is to preside at ceremonial events such as official openings, awards presentations and similar events.
In addition, the Patron has also agreed to attend the Annual Tertiary Education Management Conference each year, and provision for this is made in the Annual Budget.
Given the standing and position of the Patron, the Patron may be asked by the President to assist in facilitating contact for the President and ATEM to ensure that ATEM's voice is heard in political and tertiary education circles throughout Australasia.
