This is my last Institute News, as I will be leaving the AIBF this month to take up the position of General Manager of a private company specialising in the tourism and meetings industry. My four years leading the Institute have seen many changes to both its operations and strategic direction, and has, I trust, positioned the Institute to continue growing and servicing the Australian and New Zealand financial services industry. I would like to publicly acknowledge the support and expertise of the Institute staff, and wish the Board, committees and members all the best over the next millennium. Thank you also to all the AIBF members who have assisted me and provided support over the years. I shall look forward to watching the further development of the Institute in the future.
Places are now available at the school.
For those who are about to embark on a year of studying, don't forget the immensely popular and useful AIBF Information Resource Centre. As well as information kits and access to articles hard to find elsewhere, you also get access to research services to help with that pesky assignment that has you stumped. Some of these services are free, some have a small fee. A number of members will have completed studies in the past few months, and are very likely to be eligible for an upgraded membership. If you or your department have developed a catalogue of any nature, then consider entering into this event.
