Focus Admin Board

Charles Draper is the new Chairman of the Focus Administration Board.

At the NZUSA Executive meeting on 26 April, Mr Draper, last year's NZUSA Education Vice-President, defeated Simon Arnold in an election for the Chairmanship. Heughan Rennie, a member of the Board, had earlier withdrawn his candidacy for the Chairmanship in favour of Mr Draper.

David Caygill. Publications Officer at Canterbury University, was elected to the vacancy in the ordinary membership of the Board. Unsuccessful candidates in this election were Mr Arnold and Bill Logan.

The Executive also resolved that the Focus Distribution Manager should be, ex officio, a member of the Board and the constitution is to be amended accordingly. (Lindsay Wright, NZUSA Education Research Officer, is Distribution Manager at present).

Two co-options to the Board-of Pauline Swam as Secretary and David Harcourt as ordinary member-were also ratified by the Executive at the meeting.
