Registrar subcommittee - looking for members

The College is forming a registrar committee, which will be a subcommittee to the Education Committee (EdC). The registrar subcommittee's purpose is to receive feedback from the registrars about their training, supervision, any issues that affect training, suggestions to improve training or any concerns. The registrar subcommittee will report to EdC with recommendations to be incorporated into EdC decision-making.

The convenor of the subcommittee is Dr Sarah-Jade Gardner, who is a member of the Executive committee. In line with College policies, she will form the subcommittee from interested members. If you are interested in joining the subcommittee as a regular contributor, please contact Sarah-Jade (sarah.gardiner@rnzcuc.org.nz).

Nominations for next Executive Committee required

This is a reminder to send in nominations for the next Executive Committee. You may nominate yourself or another member of the College. If you wish to nominate another member, please first confirm that they would like to stand for a position (or positions), then email the General Manager (adrian@rnzcuc.org.nz) with your nomination.
