From the President

As I write this blog it is 2 months until many of us join with family and friends to celebrate the traditions of Christmas. To some, it is a religious holiday, and to others, it is a cultural and shopping phenomenon.

To me, 25 December is a time away from work and a time to get together with family and friends. At AAIR, we traditionally come together like a family at our annual forum.

Again, this year that pesky uninvited guest Coronavirus means we can’t all be together face-to-face for the forum. However, we can still get together, still share stories, listen, learn, and engage in the second virtual AAIR forum on Monday 6 and Tuesday 7 December 2021. We have a fantastic forum on the horizon coming to your laptop, computer, or tablet at your desk or sun lounger. This year we have presenters from Europe, the USA, and across our region, who will inform and entertain you throughout the event.

So come along and get your AAIR booster shot ready to propel yourself into 2022. The forum is free to current AAIR members who hold either 2021 or 2022 membership, and for non-members, there is a nominal registration fee, or simply join up as an AAIR member for 2022 and the forum is free for you as well. Now, how good is that! Keep an eye on your inbox and the AAIR website for more information coming soon.

The AAIR Executive Committee has continued through 2021 to work to support your professional and personal development in as many ways as we can within the confines of the pandemic we are living through. We hope that vaccines and the actions of our health agencies mean that in 2022 we can again meet face-to-face. In the meantime, make use of the opportunities we provide to members, albeit in a virtual environment.
