Special Interest Groups

 

SIGs are a forum for members and industry experts to delve into key issues including guiding principles and best practices, to learn from their peers and accrue continuing professional development points.

Are you a profit-to-member super industry professional who'd like to step up, share your knowledge, become more involved in the sector and network with your peers?  Apply now to become Chair or Deputy Chair of one of our SIGs.   

What is the role of a Chair or Deputy Chair?

The Chair develops the agenda for each meeting, including key topics and discussion points and facilitates discussions. 

The Deputy Chair assists the Chair in facilitating discussion at each session and when necessary will stand in as Chair. If required by the Chair, the Deputy Chair will take minutes during the session

What are the benefits of chairing a SIG?

There are many, including the opportunity to raise your professional profile, networking opportunities, knowledge-sharing, and professional development.

What is the anticipated time commitment required of the Chair and Deputy Chair?

The meetings are held quarterly and at a time that allows members to attend from different time zones within Australia.  Time will also need to be spent in thinking about and developing the agenda.

AIST already has a policy committee so SIGs are are an opportunity to share thinking and best practice between participants.  However, relevant discussion could be fed back to the policy committee where relevant.

AIST will facilitate the SIGs, by organising the virtual meeting rooms, promoting  the SIGs and and delivering SIG member communications. The responsibility for the agenda and discussion topics rest with the Chair and Deputy Chairs.

Every hour of a SIG meeting will attract 1 CPD point.
