Statement
English
As Treasurer I will seek to build on work already done to streamline processes and maintain the financial stability of the IAMCR. In recent years the Executive Board has made strategic investments, rationalised bank account management and acted to ensure the sustainability of the Executive Secretariat. These efforts have benefited the association’s finances. In the near future, a changing membership profile and the need to support new engagement initiatives will present challenges for financial sustainability. The IAMCR EB should respond to these challenges creatively and collaboratively.
I am a senior lecturer in the School of Communication and Arts at I University of Queensland (UQ), where I lead the advocacy and the public good theme within the Centre for Communication and Social Change and the Global Change Scholars Program in the UQ Graduate School. I am also a member of the Human-Centred Computing research group in the School of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. I came to academic research after an international career as a journalist and have experience in start-ups and project management.

Como Tesorera, buscaré construir sobre el trabajo ya realizado para optimizar procesos y mantener la estabilidad financiera de la AIECS. En los últimos años, el Comité Ejecutivo ha realizado inversiones estratégicas, ha racionalizado la gestión de cuentas bancarias y ha actuado para garantizar la sostenibilidad de la Secretaría Ejecutiva. Estos esfuerzos han beneficiado las finanzas de la asociación. En el futuro cercano, un perfil de membresía en constante cambio, y la necesidad de respaldar nuevas iniciativas de participación presentarán desafíos para la sostenibilidad financiera. El Comité Ejecutivo de la AIECS deberá responder a estos desafíos de manera creativa y colaborativa.
