'Raising the Bar'
Understanding what the Curriculum for Excellence
means for your business
Date: Friday 18th June 2010
Time: 08:30am - 09:45am
Location: Grove Academy, Claypotts Road, Broughty Ferry, Dundee
The Curriculum for Excellence will see the biggest shake
up in local schools for a generation. It will
fundamentally change what and how our young people are
taught. It's success will largely determine whether your
business has a future workforce with the skills and attributes it
needs.
'Raising the Bar' will give you the opportunity to
understand how the Curriculum for Excellence will work - how you can
influence it and how your business will be influenced by it.
The seminar will also describe other important initiatives underway
to improve overall pupil attainment levels, and will allow you to
network with fellow DACC members and local members of the Institute
of Directors and the Federation of Small Businesses.

Member 2 Member
@ Carnoustie Golf Hotel 29th June 2010
Welcome
the start of the summer holiday period by meeting fellow members at
the fantastic venue that is the Carnoustie Golf Hotel.
The informal networking that characterises the M2M will again be
preceded by a short 'Maximise
Your Membership' session to give everyone attending,
but especially our newest members, a chance to meet the DACC team and
get an overview of what the Chamber does, and get a run down on
the other members before the networking starts. So, if there is
someone special that you want to meet at the M-2-M; just say who and
the DACC team will introduce you. After that, it is up to
you! The evening will also feature the launch of the new DACC
website, with web designer Alex Mitchell
of Zen Elements on hand to explain how it works. !!A lucky participant will also win
a fantastic Seniors Open golf
prize!!
Non members are welcome to come along to the
Carnoustie Golf Hotel if they are accompanied by an existing member:
so if you think someone would benefit from experiencing the Chamber,
why not bring them along? Remember, if they join DACC, you are a Chamber
Champion and earn £10.

range of mentors whose knowledge, skills and experience will help
