NATIONAL ENGAGEMENT Brad Bonhomme

ACC National Engagement is a portfolio of the National Executive that is designated to Brad Bonhomme and includes National representation with Alphacrucis and ACC media and social media.

Over the past two years I have had the opportunity to engage with key Parliamentarians. As policy is formed in Government, meaningful discussion and dialogue has been widely received. There has also been a demand for comment on several key issues including the bushfires, COVID-19, vaccinations and more, for which we have prepared statements and liaised with mainstream media.

Just prior to COVID lockdowns in March 2020, we hosted a National ACC Social Media Thinktank. The social media managers of our ACC Ministry and State departments from across the nation gathered together in Sydney to brainstorm, collaborate and learn from experts. We saw the creation of new nationally managed Instagram & Facebook accounts to share the good news stories of ACC churches through @accsnapshot. So far, hundreds of ACC churches of all sizes and from all parts of our nation have been featured in regular posts and stories in the past year.

Serving on the Alphacrucis Council has been a joy. As the College now moves towards a University College status,, the influence and expression of AC will only multiply across the nation.

Thank you for allowing me to serve our movement. We are truly moving from strength to strength!
