Spending Initiatives 2008/2009 APS Allocation: Again don’t get allocation of APS funding because balance exceeds $13,740.00 (ie three times what would be the annual allocation, based on $9/member +$100 lump sum) Benefits to students (aiming to encourage new student memberships) o Amount given to state sections to spend on student education/PD activities increased from $500 to $1000/annum. o Continued subsidy of student registration for CCN conference – for the 2009 conference students were offered a $50 subsidy for conference registration. This has continued to be a successful initiative, with associated steady increases in student membership. Benefits to Members o We offered $150 conference registration voucher to members, which could be spent at ONE of two conferences - 1) the 2009 CCN conference in Melbourne Oct 31 - Nov 2 OR 2) The 27th International Australasian Winter Conference on Brain Research (AWCBR), to be held in Queenstown, NZ in Aug 29 - Sept 2. Substantial increase in financial support from the College for the CCN conference. In addition to offering conference subsidies at 2009 conference, the College has funded conference keynote speaker Prof David Bennett, rather than having funds drawn from conference budget. The total amount contributed by the College account in registration subsidies and keynote speaker expenses totals approximately $22,000 (will be reflected in 2009/2010 financial report). Proposed Spending Initiatives for 2009/2010 Continue current conference and state section subsidies for students members and conference subsidies for members. Employing services of a Heath Economist. At a recent meeting of the National Executive, it was proposed that we consider employing a Health Economist to examine Medicare issues and provide advice on strategy (as has been the approach taken by other Allied Health groups, eg physiotherapists). Recruiting a webmaster for the CCN website. Current proposal before the CCN Executive Committee from the CCN National Student Committee. The Student Committee are proposing a number of incentives to encourage CCN student membership: These ideas will be outlined in the Student Committee report at the 2009 AGM, followed by general discussion amongst the membership. Continuing to take suggestions for other international speakers/other PD activities. Committee welcomes proposals from the members. Catherine Meade Treasurer 5
