Executive Reports 1.1 President's Report During 2013/14, UNAAWA continued to renew and strengthen itself. We have seen the emergence of women's and environmental portfolios and the Young Professionals and the Executive has been invigorated by the addition of several new members. This report only touches on the many events, meetings and activities that we undertake. None of this would be possible without the invaluable contribution of our volunteers and members. Particular thanks are due to our Executive team who generously donate so much of their energy and time to drive our organisation. Our events are receiving excellent turnouts and great feedback - its terrific to see. A huge thanks also to our office team, Curtis and Harvey, who keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. Special congratulations to Harvey for launching the new website and to Ricky for reigniting our social media channels. Next year we will address some exciting practical challenges. We need to find new 'digs' as our lease expires in January. We will develop a new strategic plan for the organisation. We will consolidate the considerable advancements we have made in the areas of marketing, membership and event management and enhance the development of our emerging groups. These changes will make us stronger for the future. In 2015, we will be celebrating the UN's 70th birthday. It will also be two decades since the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action was adopted at the 4th World Conference on Women. The UN Commission on the Status of Women will be reviewing the progress of the declaration next year and there will be campaigns to check the progress towards gender equality. We have seen what a difference Australia can make at the UN through our participation on the Security Council. It has become clear that in so many ways, we can positively contribute to the global community. Thank you for your support with our endeavours! You are helping make the world a more peaceful, just and sustainable place. Carolyne Gatward, President United Nations Association Australia (WA Division) Inc - Annual Report 2013/14 4 1.2 Membership The Membership Officer (MO) is responsible for managing all aspects concerning membership of the UNAAWA. There are five types of membership: 1. Concession - Discounted to certain members including seniors, students or as approved by the Executive. 2. Family - Made up of two or more individual members. 3. Group - Representing organisations as members of the UNAAWA. 4. Life Members - as decreed by the Executive, these are members who have served in exceptional ways to the UNAAWA. 5. Ordinary - Standard membership applicable to most members. The MO conducts administrative functions for membership promotion, recruitment, retention and renewal of exiting members. The MO also prepares membership reports to the Executive Committee and maintains a membership and contacts database. The MO develops a close working relationship with the Treasurer to ensure all membership payments are reconciled and members notified of the outcome of their application, membership renewals, and other functions as required by the President or the Executive. Performance 2014 Overall, financial membership of the UNAAWA has been steady for the past 3 years. In 2014 we reached a total of 94 Memberships, which equates to 110 financial members. Most of our members sign up under Ordinary Memberships (accounting for 46% of all membership types), followed by Concession Memberships (28%), and Group Memberships (11%). Family Memberships only account for 9% of Membership types. But as a contributor to member numbers this category is 3rd, with a total of 24 members in 2014. Recruitment Initiatives In 2014 we implemented some recruitment initiatives to increase our financial memberships. However, due to resourcing issues there has not been a concentrated effort nor a dedicated recruitment plan. This is an area requiring urgent attention that the new MO needs to develop in 2014-15. a) Social Media - The use of social media has been the principal medium to recruiting new members. Facebook and Twitter have been the main channels for advertising and recruiting. However, these efforts do not have a measurable benefit in terms of recruitment, but are rather more effective at improving attendance to planned events. United Nations Association Australia (WA Division) Inc - Annual Report 2013/14 5 b) UNAAWA Website - An improved website was launched in July 2014. The simplicity and intuitive navigation have facilitated membership enquiries, online application of new and renewal memberships, attendance to public and member-only events, and access to general information on the organization. c) Direct Recruitment - Active recruitment has also been undertaken at every event organised by the UNAAWA. Attendance of members and non-members is encouraged, and there has always been a central message around becoming a member and

  • SBH NL 2018 Aug V25.Pages
    St Benet’s NewsAugust 2018 INSIDE THIS ISSUE Welcome to the latest issue of the St Benet’s newsletter. For this edition, we have followed the example of many of the other colleges in producing an annual, rather than a termly edition. We are therefore featuring a pictorial “Year in the Life of Benet’s”, giving a flavour of what has been happening here over the past academic year. Undoubtedly, the main event was the 120th Anniversary Gaudy, held in the House of Commons on Friday 3rd November 2017, hosted by alum, Damian Green MP. 176 Benetians and friends came together on that evening to celebrate the Hall’s history. It was particularly pleasing to have three Benet’s Masters together for the event. The present Master, Prof Werner G Jeanrond was joined by Fr Henry Wansbrough OSB (1990-2004) and Fr Felix Stephens OSB (2007-2012). As many of you will have heard, Prof Werner Jeanrond, will end his six-year term as Master of Benet’s at the end of August 2018 and will take up the Chair of Dogmatics at the University of Oslo. Under his leadership, Benet’s has successfully gone fully co-educational, has acquired a much-needed second building, has expanded its graduate numbers considerably, and is extremely well-regarded across the University — the Vice-Chancellor, Prof Louise Richardson has publicly stated: “Oxford needs St Benet’s”. Recruitment for Werner’s replacement will start in the autumn and news of the Interim Master will be announced shortly. I will also be leaving my role as Alumni Officer & PA to the Master at the end of August.

  • Why Academic Freedom Matters Cademic Freedom in British Universities Has Become a a Response to Current Challenges
    Institute for the Study of Civil Society 55 Tufton Street, London, SW1P 3QL Tel: 020 7799 6677 Email: [email protected] Web: www.civitas.org.uk Why Academic Freedom Matters cademic freedom in British universities has become a A response to current challenges national talking point. Government policies such as the Why Academic Freedom Matters A Prevent Duty and the Research Excellence Framework pose a threat to academic freedom, as do students – and increasingly scholars themselves – who want to turn the campus into an intellectual ‘safe space’. Yet despite the seemingly novel nature of current preoccupations, debates over academic freedom have a long history. This book explores why, for centuries, scholars have considered intellectual autonomy essential for the pursuit of truth and the advancement of knowledge. Contributors to Why Academic Freedom Matters come from a variety of institutions, disciplines and career stages. Together, they consider the key threats to academic freedom today that emanate from national government policies, institutional practices, student-led groups and the desire from scholars themselves not to upset either students or colleagues. Each chapter offers a different perspective on the continued importance of academic freedom within a changing university. The volume as a whole provides a timely discourse on the connection between free enquiry and academia’s historic mission to advance the sum of human knowledge. In making the case for free, open and robust debate, this book points to the many ways in which academic

  • 2018 Hertford College Donor Report
    The University in the 21st Century The Academic Job Market Research and Innovation Perspectives on Access HERTFORD COLLEGE DONOR REPORT 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This Hertford College Donor Report 2018 would not have been possible without the generous thought and time of our contributors, Emma Smith, Sophie Nicholls, L.D. Lord, Andrew Boczek, Grace Davis, Holly Kilner and Pat Roche, who took time out to pen their views about Hertford, Oxford and higher education more generally. For that, they have our utmost gratitude. There has been a changing of the guard at Hertford, and at the end of 2017 we bid farewell to Anna Baskerville, Sabina Bi and Heather Brickell. We are hugely grateful for the extraordinary work they have done for Hertford and wish them all the best in their new and exciting challenges: Anna is leading the UK fundraising efforts of Charity:Water; Sabina is training the next generation of database users in the University’s Development Office; Heather is helping the University’s sports fundraising efforts for the next phase of the Iffley Road complex. In 2018, the college welcomed three new members of the Development team: Olga Batty, who previously spent 4 years in the Development Office at St Peter’s and is now Deputy Director of Development; Nick Stone Villani manages the college’s regular giving and legacies; and Jason Fiddaman supports the team with gift administration and events. Jonathan White continues to look after the college’s communications, publications and events, and Julia Thaxton continues to direct Hertford’s development activities. The design and graphics of the Donor Report were produced by the talented graphic designer Doug Dawson, the cover by Vince Haig and photography by Edmund Blok.
