AGM and membership

Dear colleagues

I know how easy it is for these things to slip one's mind, but I'd be very grateful if you could please renew your AAHPSSS memberships (or join afresh if you've never been a member) prior to the AGM next Monday.

Full membership is $40.00 and concessional membership is $20.00. We are also trying to fill a few vacant executive positions, if anyone would care to nominate.

Here is the weblink for renewal:

If you're unable to renew via PayPal, you can pay directly into AAHPSSS' St George Cash Management account:

BSB112-879Acc No. 041 336 133

The AGM can be joined via Zoom, details for which will be sent out to members within the next 48 hours,

regards

Adam

How to submit Notices for AAHPSSS

Dear readers

If you would like an event, resource, position, or funding, or anything else that is relevant to AAHPSSS, to be listed in our notices, now you can submit the information directly. From the "Notices" page you will find a link to a Submit a Notice form page. Just fill it out and submit it. The webmaster (yours truly) will review it, and post it.

This need not be restricted to members of AAHPSSS. The notices can cover any event, locally or internationally, that is relevant to the Association's focus and interests.

Updates to website

We have managed to update the website in the following ways, which we hope will make it much more useful to members:

  1. The site is now secure, which means no information will be intercepted when you log on, or purchase membership, etc.
  2. The forums are now working; you can have public or private discussions.
  3. The AAHPSSS.org domain now appears in the address bar when you access the site from that URL.
  4. Members may now add events, and edit them later, from the submission page under the Events menu.
  5. RSS subscription has been added (see the footer).
  6. You can download all or some of the events listing to your calendar via an iCal file.
  7. The header image now randomly changes. If you have any images you would like to see in the header, let the webmaster know. They need to be at least 2000px wide and 1200px high. We will need copyright information as source details for our informative slider on the Platypus and Header Images page.

As always, suggestions are welcomed!
