Special thanks to Natalie Smith
LIANZA TEL SIG would like to express their gratitude to Natalie Smith who has been an absolute delight to work with. Her leadership and contribution to TEL SIG brought the community back to life and her energy and dedication have been an inspiration – she will be missed but continues to be an active member of LIANZA.
“I thoroughly enjoyed my time as co-convenor with both Marisa and then Neda and it was a pleasure to be on the committee. I began the role in 2019 and hope I contributed to a bit of a revival for TEL SIG – we had an enthusiastic committee and were able to organise some great events. Highlights included being part of organising committee for “Tātou Tātou: Gather and Grow” Symposium, the 2021 LIANZA Conference and helping with the event planning for webinars.”
