Along with the key objectives the following issues were discussed, resulting in the formulation of a document that will drive the plan...

2019 Memberships - Have You Been Terminated?
All 2019 unfinancial members have been officially terminated as AIMS members on 1st March 2019.
This is in line with the AIMS Membership Policy.
However, the good news is that the user accounts for these terminated members will still be retained in our system for a short time, allowing them to use the same username and password to login and re-join. It will not, however, allow them to view the members-only restricted content, and of course they will no longer receive discounts to events or other member benefits.
We regularly clean out the records of all ex-members from our online database system. Once an ex-member's details have been removed, the simple one-click re-joining process will no longer be possible.
An ex-member wishing to re-join will be required to submit a new application with all the appropriate documentation, just as a brand new member.
So remember - it is always easier to renew than to re-join later!
So if you, or one of your workmates somehow missed the 2019 renewal deadline, please login to our site urgently and renew now before your details are wiped!

EVENT REVIEW
 WA TECH DAY REVIEW
The inaugural WA AIMS Technology Day was held in Perth on 15th February 2019. Offered as a free event for AIMS members, SSSI members and students there were over 80 registrants and it was a big success.
Starting the day with a DMIRS Authorisation candidate session, AIMS Vice-President Shane Watson gave an informative presentation to the aspiring graduates and students.
Feedback from the students was overwhelmingly positive, as they appreciated the opportunity to gain significant clarity on the requirements in terms of their portfolio, standards, and knowledge of legislation.
