The results of the elections for ARM National Council are announced. Four of the 10 elected positions are women: existing office-holders, Debra Crossing and Kathy Schoo, both from the ACT plus Michelle Wood from Sydney. Allison Henry, also from NSW, joins the NC after a previous stint as ARM’s Executive Director 2003-2006. Forty percent of the new NC, taking up their two-year term in December, are female but overall women are still in the minority on this Committee (State/Territory Branch and youth convenors make up the total membership of 19). Michelle Wood was elected senior Vice-Chair and Allison Henry, Junior Vice-Chair on 6 December.
