So What Is The LIANZA Council Doing?
Today the outgoing and incoming LIANZA Councillors met to map out our direction for the next three years.We built on the key strategic goals developed last year (membership engagement and advocacy) and we've begun to create an action plan.As part of the process we looked back at what LIANZA has achieved in the past year and I thought it would be interesting to share this summary of highlights with you:
We've had the first mature scheme professional registration applications and revalidation journals
Workshops have been, and are continuing to be run throughout the regions, and have been well attended
We've launched a new online presence and we've identified key actions to move it forward. While acknowledging it's not yet perfect we have great support from members to get it right for us
On the advocacy front, LIANZA has made submissions/comments on the Auckland Super City, the National Library merger, South Taranaki, Tauranga, Copyright and the University of Canterbury change proposal
We attended the successful pilot of the Matarangi Maori workshop led by Te Roopu Whakahau
Offered a range of professional development events which have met current needs
The main focus of the day was developing concrete actions, with responsibilities and timeframes, to progress our strategic goals. We'll be sharing these with you in the near future. Cheers, Barbara Garriock
