President’s Report

Happy New Financial Year to you all and I hope that everyone is surviving the winter. I do know that it is colder for some members compared to others, but thought what a fantastic opportunity to promote your studio. It is common for all to feel a little lazier in the winter months. It is too wet to get out for that run or too cold to play a field sport for some. So let’s advertise our studios. Warm, dry and inviting environments to exercise in. Encourage the public to focus on stability, control and condition during the winter months to ensure that they come into spring with a toned, lean and flexible body.

Studio registration numbers have increased over this past two months. Congratulations to all the new studios on board the PAA. Remember that documents relating to the running of a studio, pay rates and educational standards all on our website and can be accessed via your membership link.

Malcolm Boulter, IT Officer, has worked with Tiffany from BUPA over the past month to streamline the automation of memberships. This occurs monthly and so to ensure that you, as a practitioner, remain current, I ask that you ensure that your membership renewal and document loading is done within plenty of time. The automated membership system will prompt you via email.

Human Kinetics who provided us with the book review last newsletter are currently preparing some webinars. As soon as they have been accessed and reviewed by the education committee, we will advertise the webinars via our website.

The sub committees are continuing their work. The Education Committee are reviewing the criteria for obtaining PDPs and looking at point distribution especially for those members in regional and remote areas. Adelaide for example! The media and marketing team are developing information packs that can be used by any practitioner for any local meet and greets.

You will notice a new save the date for the PAA Conference 2015. Olga Tamara has already been working hard on this project with the prospect of some fantastic and genuinely interesting presenters.

So everyone continue to feel the bright sunshine within, stay happy, healthy and wise. Please feel free to drop me a line with any questions, queries or comments. The AGM is being held in Sydney on Saturday 13 September; venue yet to be announced. Come along to speak your voice.

Take care all,

Jen x
