The Organising Committee have worked tirelessly to secure some thought provoking and enticing keynote speakers for 2013 including Professor Peter Rathjen, Vice-chancellor and President of the University of Tasmania and well known Tasmanian Bob Brown. Bob resigned from the Senate in June 2012 to establish the Bob Brown Foundation, a not for profit organisation dedicated to supporting environmental campaigns and green causes in Australia and our region. He is a published author and acclaimed photographer. Also included is Dan Gregory; a speaker, author, educator and innovator. He is the cofounder and CEO of The Impossible Institute™, an innovation and engagement organisation that advises management and sales departments on what truly drives their customers and employees, builds highly functioning, multidisciplinary teams with collaborative intelligence, applies discipline to creativity, removing the randomness and imitation from innovation and strategic planning, and advises the C-Suite and boards on how to lead with the power of a purposeful and compelling identity in a rapidly changing world. The lineup of speakers is further enhanced by Professor Linda Kristjansen, Vice-Chancellor, Swinburne University of Technology and Paul Wappett, CEO of Open Universities Australia, both speaking from quite different perspectives about the changing face of education and universities into the future and how they are meeting that future. We have had a large number of abstract submissions for the conference and we are hoping to provide a comprehensive and exciting program for this year’s event. The organising committee and program committee would like to thank all authors for their efforts and contributions and are sorry we cannot put everyone in to the program. The Organising Committee for 2013 would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the support of all of their wonderful sponsors and exhibitors, including Woods Bagot, Wilde and Woollard and Hindmarsh.

Toby is currently with Business Events Tasmania accompanying them on their travels around the state. The social program will this year commence at the world renowned MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) on Sunday 15 September which is guaranteed to impress delegates attending.

ATEM Matters No 46 May 2013 Page | 3 Editorial Welcome to ATEM Matters #46, the first issue for 2013 and the last one for me as Editor. I have thoroughly enjoyed editing this publication (including co- editing earlier editions with Linda McKellar). I am stepping down from the Association Secretary role in June after five years on Council with three as Association Secretary and two as General Councillor. Carroll Graham has kindly agreed to be the Acting Association Secretary until the 2014 elections and will be editing future editions of ATEM Matters. Part of good governance is succession planning and I am confident that this important position is in very good hands in Carroll and I wish her all the best in this role. I’d also like to take the opportunity on congratulating Carroll on the recent completion of her EdD exploring the role of professional staff in the student experiences. This issue, as always, is full of information about the many happenings at ATEM and in the tertiary education sector. This edition traditionally headlines with the forthcoming Tertiary Education Management Conference and this issue is no different. TEMC 2013 will be in Hobart in September. As usual we have reports from ATEM’s President, Stephen Weller and Executive Director, Paul Abela to keep you up to date with what has been happening at Council
