NEW ECC MEMBER FACEBOOK PAGE The ECC have established a new ECC members-only closed Facebook group as a place for you to speak with other members about anything that's important to you and your centre. The page is specifically for owners, managers and governance committee members. If you have a question, want to share something you've found or just join the conversation, this is a space for ECC members to call their own. Because it's member-only, you can discuss topics you might not feel comfortable bringing up on more public social media pages. Admission to the group is managed by the ECC team, so you can rest assured your discussion is with members only.
