Welcome back everyone. While it might appear that your Committee has had a quiet couple of months, we have been busy behind the scenes.

We’ve spent some time looking at options to deal with increasing membership numbers, a great issue to have(!), as well as the provisioning of automated renewals, enhanced website features, and community-building functionality.

We recently subscribed to the membership management software, Wild Apricot, and have been working to have your membership renewals for 2019-2020 ready to be sent out this week. The Wild Apricot software will also manage registrations for events such as our Online Meet-ups and State Library conferences.

Time to renew your SLANSW Membership

For those renewing their institutional membership for 2019-2020, we have two special offers. The first is access to the new SLANSW-branded CiteMaker service - check here for details. The second is a Fairfax Media subscription offer for schools and a free subscription to one lucky institutional member who joins SLANSW or renews their membership before the end of September this year, check out this announcement for details.

The Committee will continue to explore further partnerships with industry to enhance the benefits for both personal and institutional members.
