It seems like only yesterday that we hosted ISB 1999. Nobel Prize winner Andrew Huxley opened the proceedings with the Wartenweiler Memorial Lecture, unforgettable! He needed an overhead projector for his presen- tation, which we had not anticipated, but we made it happen at the last minute nevertheless. The late Paavo Komi was the Muybridge award winner. This time around, he will be honoured in the ASB-sponsored Jim Hay Memorial Symposium for his invaluable contribution to biomechanics research and to the profes- sion. In 1999, Ralph Mueller was the winner of the Promising Young Sci- entist Award, and this time around, he will give the ISB Muybridge Award Lecture. There is a symmetry to all this, as the circle closes. Scientists around the world write to me and remind me that they were in Calgary, in 1999, and each one has a story, a memory and usually a little smile. This is my memory of 1999: Andrew Huxley with my two sons at the Royal Tyrrell Dinosaur Museum in Drumheller. Andrew wanted to visit the world-famous site with his wife, and to share this experience with children, so they took along Jens and Pascal, aged 7 and 5.

  • Wellington Regional Strategy and Its Governance and Funding Structure
    Attachment 5 to Report 06.448 Page 1 of 8 1 September 2006 Wellington Regional Strategy and its governance and funding structure Consultation plan Background The launch of the Growth Framework (August 2005) included a mix of communications tools: A launch event – regional bus tour Quantitative research of residents and business A re-designed web site www.wrs.govt.nz A news media programme around the launch A “wrap round” advertorial in the community newspapers. Public exhibitions. Use of existing council communication vehicles. Newspaper advertising This range of communications vehicles was consistent with the main objective of the original plan: Communicate the regional strategy, especially the growth framework, via a range of communications vehicles thereby maximizing the uptake of information It was noted that the Growth Framework was necessarily a directional document and short on specifics meaning it was difficult to engage the public. In the event 420 submissions were received. The most effective tool in terms of soliciting submissions was a letter and copy of the document sent to 1400 stakeholders. The next stage of the process – the launch of the proposed Strategy and its governance structure – will adopt a similar communications plan to that used for the Growth Framework. The communications relate to: The Growth Strategy document The statement of the proposal The summary of the statement of proposal Attachment 5 to Report 06.448 Page 2 of 8 Target audiences The internal audiences are: Councils Chief Executives’ Group. Project Executive Group. The Communications Working Group Positively Wellington Business (PWB) and other economic development agencies, including their staff Positively Wellington Tourism Regional iwi.
