Editorial

Dear newsletter readers

Time is quickly approaching for our annual AAIR Forum in Adelaide from 18 to 20 November. I know the organising committee has planned a wonderful program for the AAIR members. If you are thinking of attending, but have not yet committed, please check out the program on the AAIR Forum website. Not only will you enjoy the many discussions and social activities planned around the forum, but you will also reunite with IR colleagues you’ve met before and make new lifelong friends.

As I indicated in my previous editorial in the October newsletter, this is my last newsletter. The new AAIR executive committee is still seeking a newsletter editor for 2025 and 2026. To apply, please visit our Higher Ed Jobs Board.

This edition is our final newsletter for 2024. I hope you have enjoyed the contents of the 7 newsletters I have produced. For some people, 2024 has gone very quickly. It will not be long before festive season parties commence. I hope all our readers have a wonderful time celebrating their achievements over the year with their colleagues.

Finally, I wish all our readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Enjoy the time celebrating with family and friends. May 2025 be even more successful for you all.
