Welcome to the ATLAANZ website.
ATLAANZ is an association of professionals working in learning advisory roles in tertiary institutions in Aotearoa (which is the Maori name for New Zealand, meaning "the long white cloud").
Members of ATLAANZ are staff members (full- and part-time staff) of universities, polytechnics, wanangas, colleges of education, as well as private institutions providing tertiary training.
The aims of ATLAANZ are to:
- Facilitate communication, networking, exchange of ideas, and sharing of best practice amongst professionals working in learning advisory roles within tertiary institutions
- Support the professional development, and promote the professional status of members
- Disseminate research findings, publications, and other materials that are relevant and useful to members.
ATLAANZ is an incorporated society. It has a constitution which can be viewed from the Archives page.
Information About the Association
In 1998 participants at the Tertiary Learning Centres Network of Aotearoa/ New Zealand conference supported the idea of exploring how those working in this area might become an association which provides a forum for discussion and a means for sharing information on resources, courses and conferences. The group appointed six people (from the different types of institution, with a good geographic spread) to be a Working Party.
The Working Party reported to participants at the 1999 conference in Nelson. Those gathered unanimously assented to the formation of an Association, with the view to seeking Incorporated Society status at a later date. This association was then formed and the name The Association of Tertiary Learning Advisors of Aotearoa New Zealand (ATLAANZ) was confirmed at the 2000 AGM. The Association was incorporated in 2003.
