23/04/2013 ALHR priorities and events for 2013
ALHR's national committee met in Brisbane on 13-14 April to review and plan the organisation's work. A key element informing this was the 2012 members' survey in which people said they wanted more ALHR events they could join and easier ways to interact and get involved in ALHR work. More details from the planning weekend will follow, but here are some key things which 2013 will hold.
