Editorial

Photo of a newspaper headed 'The Institutional Researcher'

Welcome to the August 2019 edition of The Institutional Researcher.

The August 2019 issue of The Institutional Researcher includes coverage of AAIR SIG Forum that was held in July this year and hosted by Charles Darwin University in sunny Darwin. Our Acting President, Kathie Rabel, shares her reflections of the event, along with her amazing photo that features on this month’s cover.

AAIR has four different special interest groups (SIGs): Business Intelligence & Analytics, Government Reporting, Surveys & Evaluation, and Load Management & Planning. Networking opportunities for these groups are now being offered through LinkedIn groups. This is a benefit being offered strictly to financial members only. If you have not received the email inviting you to join the AAIR SIG LinkedIn groups, please contact our Executive Officer.

Rossana Couto-Mason (Massey University, New Zealand) is interviewed in the IR Corner this month. I first met Rossana during last year’s AAIR Annual Forum in Melbourne. Rossana shares with us a bit more about her role and her view on the emerging area and future priorities of institutional research.

Spring is coming soon, so grab a coffee, read this month’s newsletter, and enjoy the flowers.

Please send your contributions for the next newsletter by emailing me at editor@aair.org.au by 6 September 2019.

Editor, The Institutional Researcher
