LIANZA
The committee directions for this year were workshopped at the beginning of the year by the committee and activities for 2010 were organised around the focus of career planning and development, retirement planning and fun.
These included:
*Professor Rowena Cullen's inaugural lecture: 'Why IT Matters: Your health and the public health'
*Guest appearances and sponsorship of a VUW Library studies orientation event
*Using Twitter for Librarians workshop
*A great Xmas dinner at Flying Burrito Brothers attended by 22 members
*8 weeks to Associateship
*BOK seminar
*Centenary Gala Event president present speeches, photos, cake and a showing of Aunt Daisy and the Dancing Cossacks at the NZ Film Archive.
*Meet the Leaders - a speed dating / knowledge workshop format
*Heidi Julien seminar on information literacy research and practice
A coaching/mentoring workshop is planned for October.
We are particularly happy to have supported the formation of a regional group in the Wairarapa with Sandy Green initiating the group. Laurinda visited and Sandy has brought groups over to regional events held in Wellington.
The Committee sadly farewells two pivotal members; Anne Thompson, who has been treasurer for five years or more, and Paddy Plunket who was the regional councillor and has spent the past year in the role of chair.
Laurinda, Charlotte and Hana are returning and Tom Avery is standing for election for the first time.
New committee members are always welcome and thanks to TRW reps Gab and Trish for their ongoing involvement in all events and committee work.
