Members are advised that the 2021 Annual General Meeting of IHEA, usually held in conjunction with the National Conference, has been deferred until January 2022, at a date yet to be formally advised. The delaying of the National Conference and significant COVID related work pressures on a number of Board members has contributed to this, and year end reporting is still being finalised. By deferring until after the holiday period and giving appropriate notice, we intend to engage with a wider audience.

State Branch committees have advised their nominated representatives to the National Board, which will also be ratified by members at the AGM.

On behalf of the Board I apologise for this delay, and look forward to meeting with members via a virtual AGM early in the New Year.

Jon Gowdy
National President
