Continued from page 2. a person educated in a small rural town can still become just as successful as those educated in metropolitan areas. Mr Liebmann explained that without Cooma and the people within it he would not be where he is now. Cooma was a very relevant host for the ICPA conference, as a rural community that is working to overcome isolation barriers but also as a community that has already overcome some of these barriers with the new Cooma Universities Centre as a great example of this. The conference gave the opportunity for local education services to associate with peak education groups from all over the country and for local people,
organisations and business owners to be guest speakers. Conference participants got the chance to explore the area with a tour of Cooma Universities Centre last Wednesday, partners tours of winery’s and distillery’s and a few attendees visiting Birdsnest. “These things lift the profile of ICPA and education in the area, we were extremely pleased with how the conference went, “We had 75 motions which we moved through over the two days, which was fantastic and will definitely give us something to do over the next year,” Mr Taylor explained. Next year’s conference is said to be held in the west of the state but with the success of Cooma as the host this year, it will no doubt be held here again sometime in the future. A big thanks is due to the ICPA Monaro Branch who organised the event.
