Are you looking for a little something extra to add another string to your bow, show off your skills, learn some new ones, while also helping your Association?

Imagine what it would be like if everyone in your Association knew your face and knew your name. Your profile would instantly be raised amongst your peers.

AAIR is seeking an Editor for the Association’s monthly Newsletter. The current Editor, Tracy Creagh, will step down at the end of 2018 after two years in the role.

This is a fantastic professional development opportunity to increase your knowledge of the sector and gain an in-depth understanding of higher education issues at both international and domestic levels. It is hoped that the incoming Editor could shadow the outgoing Editor for the last issue of the year (November 2018), and then formally commence in January 2019.

The incoming Editor is welcome to take the Newsletter in new directions – to put a personal stamp on the Newsletter. We are open to your ideas and happy to discuss how AAIR can best support you in the role.
