Given the prominence of geoscience and resource issues overmost of the last decade it is surprising that GSA membership hasshown little growth. Ours is an aging Society in a time-poor era,one that is crying out for reinvigoration of our offerings andprofile. The Society’s current strong asset base, further enhancedby the windfall from the 34th IGC, provides us with an opportunityto initiate significant change to modernise the organisationand make it more relevant, engaging and attractive to Australia’slarge population of practising geoscientists. However , therequired change cannot be driven solely by the NationalExecutive — we require ideas, enthusiasm and initiative acrossall levels of the GSA. The resources are available — what remainsto be seen is if you, the members of the GSA, rise to the challengeto proceed.CongratulationsBill!Bill Birch waselected Presidentof the RoyalSociety of Victoriaon 28 March 2013.JIM ROSS on behalf of the Finance and Risk Committee2013 EXPLORATION SAFETY ROADSHOWTRAVELLING YOUR WAYThe 2013 Exploration Safety Roadshow is the sixth in an annualseries presented by Resources Safety.The event is an opportunity to confer with Resources Safety staff onissues of concern, hear the latest news about safety performance,and network with other industry participants.Key features of this year’s program will be discussions of therecently released exploration drilling code of practice and explorationaudit tools.
