National Advisory Congress final meeting
Dear Colleagues
The final 2007 ALIA National Advisory Congress (NAC) meeting was held last night. This year’s approach to the NAC gave a sharp focus on the issues of highest importance to ALIA members - employment and education. The teleconference was a new approach and everyone participated, sharing views from each group meeting on the key issues and making excellent suggestions for ALIA’s planning for 2008 and beyond.
I’d like to thank those who attended the teleconference Nathalie Smith, Alice Springs; Ruth Marsh, Townsville; Jo Keleher, Rockhampton; Christopher Griffiths, Wagga / Riverina; Gemma Siemensma, Ballarat; Rebecca Parker, Melbourne; Sally Murdoch, Hobart; Benita Wheeler, Adelaide; Kimberley Hargrave, Gawler / Barossa Valley; Andrew Osborne, Brisbane; Alyson Dalby, Sydney; Andrew Finegan, Darwin; Alissa Sputore, Perth; Bradley O’Brien, Library Technicians; Helena Zorbec, Canberra; Tania Barry, Regional & Rural meeting, Sue Hutley, ALIA Executive Director; Robyn Ellard, ALIA National Office; Derek Whitehead, Vice President and Damien Lodge, Director).
A report on NAC will be provided online through http://www.alia.org.au/governance/nac/2007/
Next years NAC meeting will be held in conjunction with the ALIA Biennial conference. I encourage you all to participate in the process and contribute your thoughts!
