The 2008 Executive have decided to create a new role within
the Association to deal with Alumni matters.
We congratulate Genevieve Wood on her appointment as our Alumni Relations
Officer. The Alumni Relations Officer will be responsible for coordinating the
production of content for the Alumni newsletter, organizing reunions and other
Alumni functions and for updating content on the Alumni Website. The Alumni
section of the website will include information about Life Members, Association
Fellows, past members of the Executive and Working Party, and Conference
delegates. They will create profiles for Life Members and Fellows and will
answer alumni queries.
The Alumni Officer will liaise with the Secretary of the NAAUC executive to
produce a quarterly publication 'NAAUC Talked' – which will be sent to Alumni
members to keep them up to date on current dealings of the Association and the
Alumni Association; Reunion dates and details;
and profiles on past executive members and Life Members of the Association.
The Executive are currently organizing the finer details of an Alumni Event to be
held before the annual conference this year in Perth. This event will commemorate the 40th
Anniversary of the Conference itself, a reunion of NAAUC alumni and also
function as a launch of the Alumni Association. All Life Members and
Association fellows will be invited and all NAAUC alumni are encouraged to join
us on the 31st June - just 3 days before the commencement of the 40th
anniversary annual Conference in Perth.
The Executive are currently investigating the establishment up an Alumni Committee
to meet and consult about Alumni matters and plan Alumni events. We stress that
the creation of these positions is still under consideration and has not been
finalized, but anybody who is interested should consult the draft of the
position description on the ‘Committee’ page, and contact the President at president@naauc.edu.au.
We are also hoping to release the first
edition of our
alumni publication in the very near future and seek contributions on
anything NAAUC. If any alumni member is interested in contributing to
an edition of 'NAAUC' Talked please email Gen at genevieve.wood@gmail.com.
