Selection of a representative of the meeting to attend the NAC meeting to be held 1 September in Alice Springs

(note there is no funding support so the representative will need to be attending the ALIA biennial conference Dreaming08)

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 Alice Springs on 1 September 2008
• Fairly representing the outcomes of the regional meeting
• Being prepared to participate actively in the National meeting

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: 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 Alice Springs to Robyn Ellard at ALIA National Office.
