National Link Moves Back to Canberra
Hello everyone,
In accordance with the WISENET Constitution, the WISENET National Link has rotated again – this time back to Canberra. Enormous thanks are extended to the Sydney Link who attended to National WISENET business for the past ten years.
Transfer of roles took place at the ACT WISENET meet on 18th October, 2002. Our thanks to people who offered to accept the new positions -
| Karen Edwards Sally Stowe Haley Jones Gina Newton |
Treasurer Membership Secretary Journal Manager Public Officer |
Our new postal address is GPO Box 106, Canberra, ACT 2601.
Link group convenors, committee members and advisers remain the same – although some would like to pass on their roles to others over time. If you would like a more structured role in WISENET, please let us know.
Some points for consideration in 2003:
raising annual membership fees to $50 (to be decided at
the 2003 AGM). This would allow us to become fully affiliated members of FASTS
(Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies) with more
influence; and provide for some paid administrative support as required
developing a password protected web page for membership
lists and contact details
purchasing a MAC lap--computer that can function as a rotating office. ‘MAC’, to avoid so many viruses; ‘lap-top’ so that WISENET business can be managed separately and readily passed on.
Your views and comments will be canvassed with membership
renewal forms and be resolved at the 2003 AGM for details and continually
updated information… and keep in touch.
Cheers,
Anna Robinson
National Convenor.
