Dear ANZ HEUG colleague
As returning officer I wrote to you on 15 September 2014 to call for
nominations for the position of Chair for 2014-2016. At the close of
nominations on Friday I had received one nomination, from Gail White who is
Academic Registrar at the University of Newcastle. I therefore declare
Gail elected as Chair of the ANZ Higher Education User Group (HEUG) for a
further two-year term from 1 November 2014 to 31 October 2016.
Please join me in congratulating Gail. I attach her statement prepared in
support of her nomination for the position.
Regards
*Dr Maddy McMaster*
