5.3.1 Leadership seminar
Great success. Eilishia forwarded a sample of the many congratulatory e-mails to secretary. A formal vote of thanks was proposed at this stage by Bobbie Bruce and seconded by Bonnie Rae Bruce to thank Eilishia and the CPD Committtee for all their hard work this year.
5.3.2 WA Australian Government Locator Service (AGLS) State Committee has asked Eilishia to be ALIA representative on Metadata Committee. Copies of all correspondence will be sent through to ALIA National Office.
