Society of Editors (SA) Annual General Meeting
Members are warmly invited to join our committees for the next year. There are currently two committees: one that plans our regular meetings, workshops, and the business of the society; and a second that is planning next year's conference. We need more members to join us as this coming year will be our busiest ever, and also our most exciting.
We plan as part of our AGM to have a short presentation of the highlights of the National Editors Conference to be held by our Society in Adelaide next year, to give members a sense of what is in store.
