General Business:

Kim reported on the East-IN SIG blog. All blogs are to be on the LIANZA website. The Sig’s blog is linked to Ikaroa. People will need their LIANZA membership number to access the Blog. Therefore non-member will not be able to get access. Kim suggested we run 2 Blogs. The LIANZA one can be a social blog. LIANZA is looking at creating a special sign-in to overcome the problem. Sue Fargher recommended Kim carry on and wait for LIANZA to respond. Sheryl Reed, seconded by Karin Tobin nominated Kim to carry on operating the Blog. Diane Friis has been nominated for the Ikaroa committee. The meeting discussed the option of having Heather Lamond to visit again to assist with the Body of Knowledge. We should target specific BOK’s eg number 11 , and the Bicultural BOK. We need to be clear about what we need. We could do this within the SIG. There are mentors for Professional Registration in Hawke’s Bay. SIG committee meeting need to report on what is happening.

The meeting closed at 5.57pm
