Derek Whitehead presented a review of the “Education and Workforce Summit” outcomes. Participants were invited to ask questions and make comments about the outcomes. Derek also highlighted the Hunter NAC Regional Report – was amused by our talk on post-nominals and loved the kids reading to dogs at Lake Macquarie.

Jan Richards (Vice-president) hosted the discussion topic for the afternoon:
“Staying smart in a complicated world – professional development”
4 groups discussed one of the following questions each:
What do we need to do to ensure that we have the skills for a future workforce?
What is the role of employers and employees in professional development?
How can the Association’s PD Scheme be utilised to support this goal?
Can a compulsory PD Scheme benefit the profession?
Groups had to imagine the library world 3 years hence, devise a positive statement about where we will be the justification for the actions we will have completed, how we prioritised them, who was responsible (e.g. members, ALIA, employers etc).
Minutes were taken and should appear on web-site.
