Yes, we've reached a milestone in holding our first AGM during the Society's recent conference in Hobart, Tasmania.
I would like to thank all those members of the National Committee who have contributed to getting the group established, and to growing our membership over the year so that we are currently the ninth largest interest group within the Society. I would also like to thank Iain Montgomery, who was our contact among the Directors, for his help and support as well as the staff at the APS offices, in particular Anna Terrington who has been unfailingly helpful throughout this busy time.
At the AGM we formed the National Committee for the 2008 - 2010 period, and details are available on the Office Bearer page. Many thanks to Hamish Millard, who is retiring after serving as our Treasurer for the past year. Thanks and welcome to Anna Britton who has joined the committee to act in the role of Treasurer.
There are lots of activities that we hope to pursue over the coming year:
If you are new to RPIG, or just visiting to find out about us, please have a look at the Terms of Reference
for the group that give further details of our purpose and aims. Don't forget that you don't have to be a member of the Soceity, or even a psychologist, to join - just have an interest in the area of rehabilitation. Information about joining the group is available here. I am always happy to hear from members and prospective members so please get in touch.
With best wishes
Kathryn Nicholson Perry, National Convenor
