AUSIT Victoria Branch invites you to attend our Annual Branch Meeting (ABM), which is being held pursuant to provisions of Section 6.1.2 of the Constitution, Section 5.2A of the By-Laws.

The ABM is a chance for language professionals in Victoria to come together, catch up, and hear about the year in review. In addition, current financial members will vote in the new Branch Committee and raise any matters of interest.

At this event, the Annual Student Excellence Awards are to be announced and presented during the ABM. A networking catch-up will follow at the conclusion of the ABM, and the VIC Branch is pleased to be able to shout every in-person participant a tea or coffee immediately following the event.

You can register to participate and vote at our ABM either in-person or online via Zoom. The Zoom link will be sent to registrants two days before the event.
