In The Loop |
 The AYMN is changing the way it
makes its decisons. You may remember in 2010, being asked to provide feedback on 3 potential structures for the AYMN. Using this information the current AYMN Committee has chosen a new model and in 2011 will bring on two new Committee Members to broaden the skill base of our Committee.
This is a very exciting year for the AYMN as not only are we changing our structure but we will turn 5 years old! We have grown rapidly over this time and expect the next 5 years to be just as exciting. Modifying our structure now will ensure we can continue to flourish and meet the needs of a growing sector.
This is only phase one of the changes so keep an eye on the Newsletter, Facebook and Twitter to see how you can be involved in the new structure later in the year. |
