Selection of a representative of the meeting to attend NAC to be held 17 Septeber in Perth

(note there is no funding support so the representative will need to be attending Click06)

Any financial member attending the regional meeting may be the representative to the NAC.

Responsibilities of being a regional representative attending the NAC include:

• Being available to attend the national meeting in Perth on 17 September 2006
• Fairly representing the outcomes of the regional meeting
• Being prepared to participate actively in the National meeting
• Presenting the most popular success story from the regional meeting (a total of 5 minutes will be allocated to each regional representative at the NAC. This is to be a simple oral presentation - there is no need for overhead transparencies or PowerPoint presentations)

Based on feedback from previous NACs it is suggested that the selection of the regional representative be carried out early in the meeting. This allows the representative to participate in the regional meeting with the knowledge that they will be responsible for representing the meeting at the national meeting.

Note: Would you please ensure that the ALIA Local Liaison Officer or ALIA member organising the meeting provides the details of the meeting's representative to the national meeting in Canberra to Georgina Dale at ALIA National Office as a matter of urgency.

Program for the 2006 regional meetings

Guidelines for discussion

1. Celebrating success

Members are invited to present an ALIA success story from this year.

Regional representatives will be allocated 5 minutes each to present the success story from their regional meeting at the national meeting in Canberra. The regional meeting is to select only one story to be presented within 5 minutes at the NAC. With over 20 people attending the NAC time does not permit for more than one story per representative.

2. Planning - achievements in 2006, forward planning for 2007

There is a powerpoint presentation to support this item. Discussion points are included in the presentation.

3. Local issues

This part of the program is intended to provide a forum for discussion of local issues/questions. If there are any questions or issues that cannot be dealt with at the time please forward them to ALIA national office.

4. Evaluation

Please ask all members attending the meeting to complete an evaluation form before they leave the meeting. It would be helpful for members to include their name and membership number in case we need to contact members for clarification of comments etc.
