Wireless Institute of Australia President Phil Wait VK2ASD has accepted an invitation to make a presentation at the Westlakes Club Rooms in Teralba on Saturday, January 30 at 1pm.  This will be an information session on the current activities and future directions of the WIA, and after a short break, will be open for questions.  The club has asked its members to mostly pre-submit their questions to maximise the time available by avoiding duplicated or very similar questions.

To help further, an outline of the WIA speech is given.  It will include the WIA organisational structure and functions, the balance of its business functions and advocacy role, maintaining financial viability, and always as a first priority, the advancement of Amateur Radio.  In future opportunities opening up to the WIA is to maximise the public benefit of Amateur Radio through education and youth.

Phil VK2ASD will mention the pressure on Spectrum by competing users, the Department of Communications Spectrum review, improving licence privileges and the opportunities for possible self-regulation of Amateur Radio.  An interesting presentation on the WIA to given at the Westlakes Club Rooms in at York Street Teralba next Saturday, January 30 at 1pm.  All are welcome, whether a member or not of the WIA or the club, to hear first-hand an insight on the WIA, that seeks to represent all.
