Options moving forward

The NIC Board is considering two options for our annual meeting schedule. We want to ensure maximum value from meeting face to face for discussions and networking, and balance this with resourcing of NIC and Members to travel.

Option 1:
Three face to face (hybrid) meetings per year with similar schedule at current, committees or meetings on afternoon Day 1, then networking dinner and then Day 2 meeting 8:30-3pm.
  • 1st week March - Sydney, scheduled prior to NSWIC meetings.
  • Late July - regional, schedule to include a tour and meetings.
  • Mid-October, Canberra with AGM in a sitting week.

Option 2: Two face to face (hybrid) meetings per year, Day 1 committee meetings in morning, then General meeting from lunch, networking dinner then Day 2 meetings until lunch.
  • Late April, Early May - location not defined (regional or Canberra).
  • Mid-October, Canberra with AGM in a sitting week.

We note the schedules will avoid school holiday periods.
