Dear Member,
During the past year the National Board of IIM met on 6 occasions with most of them conducted via teleconference. The board meet on the evening of the 14th August, the first evening of the IIM National Conference.

Ms Deborah Holtham - Director, Service Delivery
Mr Robert Goode - Immediate Past President
This year we have grown by one and welcome Ms Deborah Holtham, as the Director, Service Delivery.
IIM held a National Conference in Canberra over the period of 14 - 16 August. The conference was a success and complemented the State events. Thank you to the ACT Conference Committee for a job well done and for your personal efforts in making the IIM National Conference a success.
The State committees worked tirelessly to produce forums which provide members and guest an opportunity to learn and meet other information professionals. Thank you to all the Branch Committees for your efforts. It is through your individual contributions and the variety of programmes that we are able to promote 'best practice' within the information management industry.
IIM, after such a successful co-hosting in 2006, joined again with the corollary of information professional organisations to provide a well organised and stimulating program of events during the 'Information Awareness Month' (IAM).
IIM continues to grow and I welcome all our new members. To all our members, thank you for your continued membership and support.
IIM welcomes feedback and suggestions from its members. With this in mind, during the year, the IIM website underwent a total transition. The whole site was rethought and remodelled. Our goal is to generate better communication and provide members with an avenue to not only enhance your knowledge but also to contribute some of your own knowledge and experience to the IIM Community. If when you have visited the site you find that it has not the information that at present you need then visit 'Contribute' go to 'Feedback & Queries' please do not hesitate to place in your query for IIM has a large network and I feel sure that they will be able to find someone who will help or at least point the way.
Over the year IIM worked with many sponsors and I would like to thank them for there ongoing support. The sponsors enable IIM to present forums of a high calibre for our members and guests.
MOU's have been sent to many of the other professional groups, to encourage sharing and working together for the mutual benefit of our members.
Thank you also to the Secretariat for continued support of the IIM and with a new agreement that support will continue for another 3 years.
This will be my last report as the President of IIM. I am retiring from this position but will for an interim period provide advice and guidance to our incoming President.
I welcome the new President I feel sure that under their stewardship IIM will continue to grow and remain relevant to members.
Robine Polach
President
