Renewal of website registry.
  • QUT Program 2013 (Angela)
/ QUT has a proposed Public Program for 2013, with further details to come. Some feedback given by QATA members re: with workshops, please keep in mind that not all schools have Macs, and therefore PD must address both Macs and PCs. The cost of workshops for staff and students was also too expensive.
  • 2013 Executive – voting
/ Jess voted in to continue Presidency, (nom by JF, seconded by BM) with Adam continuing as Vice President (nom by SS, seconded by BM). Angela has stepped down as PD/Events Coordinator. Katy Ward volunteered to help with PD in 2013. Any other volunteers most welcome.
  • 2012 Financial Report (Angela)
/ This was not available for the meeting, and will be presented at our first meeting back in 2013 instead.
  • General business followed by dinner at 6:30pm at Trang! (Map below)
/ We need to clarify with constitution, whether position titles can be amended/updated to reflect the joint leadership of QATA between Jess and Adam.
Thank you to Adam and Angela for their hard work and commitment this year!
