THE MORNINGTON PENINSULA REGIONAL BRANCH OF THE ...

2) Over the past year we have consolidated our position as an active and innovative
Regional Group. At the last AGM there were 194 APS members on the Peninsula.
Today there are 190 paid up members.
3) KEY ACHIEVMENTS:
� The purchase of both the laptop and more recently the data projector has been
of benefit to not only this group in terms of our training activities but also
individual members in providing professional presentations to their customers.
� We have been keeping the website up to date as much as possible. Still
ironing out a few wrinkles there however we encourage all members to go to
the Branch page and pencil in key dates as a way of being aware that events
are coming up. Detail on events will be sent out as soon as it can. The dates
are there from the beginning of the year. We have also decided to send out a
hard copy of the calendar of events at the beginning of next year. This will be
laminated so it can be placed in a diary and moved around as events occur.
� The weekend away this year was a relaxing couple of days in Shoreham.
Some excellent skills sharing, presentations and socializing led to an
enjoyable time for all.
� Psychology awareness week saw us at Mornington Centra again and while we
were able to talk informally with quite a few people this year as we gave out
information sheets, pens we will be looking at using our technical equipment
to present a data projection presentation so that people can read about the
benefits of psychology without having to brave asking a question.
� Professional Development Activities:
Lyn Datnow presented “Successful Family Therapy Strategies” –
good feedback
Information sharing with Community Agencies – well attended and
informative. There were several community agencies present.
