CEO Update – October 2024

31 Oct

Member Engagement Week

Thank you to our member representatives who were able to join us for our September Member Engagement Week activities.  It was great to have such broad representation from our membership, enabling a forum that brought both a diversity of views and strong collaboration on key issues.  Read more about the sessions in the Members’ Forum Report.

Member Engagement Week is a key platform for AHA to engage and collaborate with our members on national biosecurity and animal disease preparedness and response issues. Heading into our meeting dates for 2025, we want to make sure we’re best meeting your needs and would appreciate you completing a short survey to help us improve future Member Engagement Weeks.

Following is a list of key dates for 2025:

  • March Member Engagement Week: 17 to 20 March 2025
  • AHA General Meeting (virtual): 18 June 2025
  • September Member Engagement Week: 22 to 26 September 2025
  • AHA Annual General Meeting (virtual): 12 November 2025

Animal health database

Thank you for your keen interest in discussing the way forward for a future animal health database for Australia at our September members week.

The in-person format of members week allowed us to have quality engagement with all member organisations who were present, covering all member groups. We provided information, received your feedback and had the challenging conversations required to enable us to agree on an approach to ensure Australia has the best animal health and surveillance database possible. Read more about the approach.

Appointment: Head of Communications and Member Engagement

I’m pleased to announce that we have appointed Angela Oplantzakis to the position of Head of Communications and Member Engagement. Angela has extensive expertise working as a communications professional in member organisations, largely within the financial services sector. 

Thanks,

Dr Samantha Allan
