Posted October 13th, 2011 by Joan McCracken

It is a long time since NZ members of ARLIS have heard from their executive - but we do still exist. I apologise for the lack of contact over the last couple of years, but the enthusiasm for change in the public sector has to take some of the blame!
However, Fiona Gray (Secretary), Fran McGowan (Treasurer), Victoria Boyack (Events), and I are very keen to remedy this silence and hope that you will be able to join us for the Annual General Meeting of the NZ Chapter of ARLIS/ANZ on Monday 28 November 2011. We have "attached" the meeting to the National Digital Forum in the hope that this will make it easier for travel costs.
We propose a meeting in the morning (from about 10.30am), followed by a shared lunch and an afternoon of visits to local repositories. We hope that at the AGM regional groups can give an update on activities in their area in the past year (or so), and / or new ventures (websites, finding aids, publications). A datashow and laptop will be available. Before we finalise the venue and programme we would appreciate an indication of who is able to attend, of items for the agenda, and of any presentations you would like to give (this will give us an idea of how long to schedule the meeting).
Also - if there is a repository or art librarian in Wellington you have been longing to visit, do let us know and we will see what we can arrange.
Please send contact Fran or if you think you will be able to attend and/or suggestions for activities, as I am about to go on leave for a couple of weeks (lucky me!).
Applications for funding from the ARLIS/ANZ New Zealand chapter travel fund are invited. Guidelines for this award and details of how to apply are attached. The closing date for applications is Friday 28 October 2011. As no award was made in 2010 this year offering two awards of $300 each.
We look forward to seeing you in Wellington in November.
