ALARA-BALT 2020 Australasian Conference
|
 |
| |
The Conference was a great success, if the responses by those present are a guide. The organisers from ALARA and BALT received many compliments about how friendly and even intimate the participants found the presentations and conversations.
Each session was recorded, and those recordings will soon be available to participants.

Annual General Meeting Outcome
The 2020 ALARA Annual General Meeting (AGM) was completed on 19 November. All motions, including the Special Resolution to change ALARA's Constitution, were passed.
The minutes of the AGM are now available on the ALARA site, and a revised version of the Constitution will be available soon.

Call for Venue for ALARA 2021 Conference
The ALARA Board is seeking a potential venue for next year's event. Preparing for a conference takes a good twelve months (and sometimes more), so a partner for the 2021 Conference must be identified soon. Naturally, potential restrictions to travel across State and international borders and social distancing may continue well into 2021, so an event must be able to cope with face-to-face, virtual or a hybrid arrangements.
If you would like to discuss a possible event, please contact us at admin[at]alarassociation.org.

Journal Site Renewal
The old Journal site has been replaced and is located at https://alarj.alarassociation.org.
You can access the new site, just like the old site. Your original login and password will be the same, but please note, the main site and Journal site have different logins, and if you had different user names and passwords, that will continue.
If you cannot access the Journal site properly, please email admin@alarassociation.org.

|
Old ALARA Site
The old ALARA site (alara.net.au) is written in old code, and has not been updated for several years. ALARA plans to remove that site late this year. People registered on the site have recently been sent an email, encouraging them to copy anything they wish to keep from the site before it closes.
|
 |
New Issue of Action Learning and Action Research Journal published
A Special Issue of the ALAR Journal containing papers from the CARN-ALARA Conference in 2019 has been published.
Members (after logging on) can access individual articles on the Journal website and the whole issue on the latest Journals page.

Action Learning Facilitator and Action Learning Practitioner Programmes
The alliance between ALARA and the Global Centre for Work-Applied Learning (GCWAL) includes the introduction of new professional certifications as Action Learning Facilitators and Action Learning Practitioners, co-badged by ALARA and GCWAL. Information about the programmes are available on the GCWAL website and the linked brochures.
The alliance also provides support to ALARA to develop research in action learning and action research. A further announcement will be made later this year.
