President’s Report Reports |

President’s Report (continued)International Conference – Sydney December 2001I was personally privileged to attend the International ME/CFS Conference in Sydney in December 2001. The conference was outstanding – with a truly international mix of speakers presenting a wide range of material.
We can be very proud as Australians that we were involved in putting together a world-class event. For those of you who didn’t catch the September Talking Point – I’m happy to let you know that our Society contributed $4000 to the event. Dr Rosamund Vallings has written an excellent summary of the event and that has been included in the medical section. Christine Hunter and her team are truly an inspiration. If you have not done so already, please visit the Alison Hunter Memorial Foundation Website. It is the best resource for ME/CFS in Australia. Take a bit of time to read about the foundation and read about Alison Hunter. You’ll see where Christine’s drive and motivation comes from.
From my point of view it was great to network with the committee members of other states. I think this is timely as there was a big turnover on the National Exec. The bulk of the National Association board were at the conference and having now met each other it will help us to function as a team. (The National board only meet by phone hookup). The only disappointment is that the conference made a loss for the AHMF.
