Re: [Ada_list] ADA AGM 2013 - new trustees needed!

Kia ora koutou Su, Stella, Zita, Julian, Ana, Vicki and all ADA members
pls accept my apologies for today and send love to Dunedin - thanks for the work of the Otago crew in hosting the symposium.
Thank you Su and Stella for your shepherding of ADA these past years.
I'm at a Loomio retreat on the kapiti coast and sense very strongly that the digital arena is becoming increasingly complex and loaded and the work of ADA in maintaining critical debate is still vital.
Go well this weekend

The structure of ADA means that members can tell the trust what to do, instigate projects under the name of ADA, guide the direction of ADA, and apply to join the trust board. The time has come for some new energy to enter the trust board - and this means YOU!

If you have questions, or want to be more involved but maybe not on the trust, please make sure you talk with Vicki or Zita over the weekend (before the Sunday meeting), or drop them a line!
