AIG is addressing in each quarter in AIG News. 26 May. The Council features a number of new faces, bringing with them fresh ideas and enthusiasm that will without doubt continue the previous Council's work to develop AIG as a professional association specifically representing Australian geoscientists. All of these members have made substantial contributions to AIG as Councillors and members of the Executive over a number of years, and through their work have helped to shape the Institute. The continually increasing membership base and strength of AIG, particularly through its branches in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia, is itself testimony to their efforts in conjunction with those of both past and current colleagues.
Every year brings change in dynamic organisations.
In the past two years there have been substantial changes to the way in which AIG operates, some immediately visible, others more behind the scenes but no less important to the Institute in terms of its structure and vitality. The cornerstone of these has been delivering value, through benefits of membership to members. In the last two years considerable effort has been invested in developing practices and procedures covering AIG's core activities and building close working relationships with other relevant professional bodies both in Australia and overseas. The new Council will continue this process. Councillors also represent a wide cross section of professions and interests within the Australian geoscientific community.
