Hello members of ARM-A.
This blog as been created as a way for us to communicate with each other before the website is established.
At the AGM after the July 09 Conference at UQ, we installed a new Executive. The Executive is now:
President: Joan Garvan (ANU)
Vice President: Julie Kelso
Secretary: TBC
Treasurer: Tarsh Bates (UWA)
Committee members: Alison Bartlett (UWA), Catherine Walsh, Marie Porter, Vivienne Muller(QUT), Jane Hasler (U Sydney)
We are open to accepting more committee members. It would be ideal to have each state represented.
The next conference will be held in Perth. The date is to be confirmed.
At the AGM we agreed to establish a web presence for ARM-A, which means we could then connect with the newly formed International Mothers Network. And we agreed to ask you, the members, what you want from the organisation.
So, what do you want from ARM-A?
What is your vision of what ARM-A could be?
Do you want a newsletter? Local events? Guest speakers?
An opportunity to share academic work between conferences?
What do you want to see on the ARM-A website?
How can we get more people involved?
What can you offer the Association?
Please enter your ideas. We'll then work out what we can deliver.
Thanks
Catherine and Joan

Hi Catherine,
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting this together and am looking forward to working together.
In regard to the questions you have posed here above yes, these are the kinds of things I, for one, would like to think about myself and hear - first of all what the committee would say to them, but also the wider community - so I haven't made any changes.
I think its worth touching base with the committee with the questions first before sending around to the wider group (see if they would have any alterations or additions) don't you.
I'd say this satisfies the problem I had with communicating where I am coming from (as I get to fill out the questionnaire as well) so great.
I think it is worthwhile saying a bit more about what is happening in the letter. I will send you an email with some thoughts on this.
best for now, Joan
