This May I represented HIANZ in Sydney
at the HRIA annual convention & trade
show and managed to spend a day with
Mark Scarce and Mike Flesher (ARA
President). Our main topic of discussion
was the ARA Leadership Exchange. This
program would certainly create a greater
understanding and closer relationship
between HIANZ, ARA and the wider GRA.

With the reviewing of annual accounts,
I trust trend statements are heading in a
positive direction? Now would be a great
time to review business practises, process
and profitability.

The HIANZ Hire Conference planning is
well underway and I am looking forward
to a ground swell of delegates attending
this year. If you are new to the industry,
conference is a great place to meet, learn
and share ideas with like-minded people
who have a passion for our industry.
Interest from Australia is encouraging
so we look forward to hosting you.
Supplier uptake is positive with a number
of booths already sold. As a board we are
working hard to bring a conference filled
with interesting and relevant workshops,
a great trade show and plenty of time
to catch up with industry friends and
associates. So put September 10-12 in your
diary and
we will see
you there.

Excellence Awards deadline was extended
to give companies more time to get their
entry in this year. These awards are as
much about raising the bar and bench
marking our businesses as they are about
winning.
