ACT Meeting Outcome / Upcoming Event - tonight!
24/02/2010
Dear Members,
As advertised, an ACT ALHR meeting was held on Monday 22 February at 8 pm at Debarcle.
The purpose of the meeting was to confirm the nomination of the current Co-Convenors to continue in that role for the coming year. We are pleased to indicate that the nomination was supported unanimously.
We also discussed the ACT events that have occurred in the past 6 months and what is coming up in the next 6 months.
For those who have not attended an event or meeting, we would love to see you involved in the ALHR activities. We are also always open to discuss ideas and initiatives that you may have.
Finally, a late reminder for an event that is happening tonight at the ACT Legislative Assembly -
