Vertical Transmission, November 2010

Abstract

Many of you would have heard about the difficulties the Society has been experiencing in the National Office over recent months. We have had a number of resignations; first our executive officer, then our conference manager and most recently our office manager. As I outlined in the last Vertical Transmission, in order to cope with the resignation of our conference manager in May (two months before the Sydney meeting), we were required to call in an experienced professional conference organiser (ICMS) to ensure that the Sydney meeting did not suffer in terms of organisation over such a crucial period. Hopefully, you will agree that the meeting ran successfully given these circumstances.
