Please take the time to contribute to Maryann Hawthorn's survey into value management. All levels of knowledge are welcome. We'd like to increase the response rate; ten minutes of your time will make a valued contribution.
The AIPM Support Office is pleased to welcome our newest member, Tanuja Santhiapillai. She will be focused on events, marketing and broad communication activities for the AIPM and its members.
Take a look at the 2006 PMAA Project Submission guide, if you're seeking wider recognition of your Work. Further information on the PMAA can be found here.
Our Job Vacanciesand our Events page has been very busy. As AIPM members these listings are available to your organisation as part of your membership, subject to minor requirements.
I invite you to submit your employment vacancies at http://www.aipm.com.au/html/advertise_position.cfm.
A request: if you have any Project Management conference proceedings or papers, please consider donating them to the IRC. Contact me.
Events, with as much detail as possible, should be emailed to irc@aipm.com.au.
As always, I invite you to review and use the services of the IRC. Please call on 02 8288 8751 or email irc@aipm.com.au if you think I can help.

2. An Invitation to Participate in a Value Management Survey
Click here to download the zip survey information pack.
Listed at AIPM Surveys, you are invited to participate in "An Investigation into the Use of Value Management in Australia, United Kingdom and Hong Kong".
AIPM conducts and hosts surveys, as part of supporting the development of Project Management in Australia. Contact me, or your local chapter representatives if you are running, or plan to run a survey into a topic of interest to Project Managers.
Maryann Hawthorn is a Master of Project Management student at the RMIT School of Property, Construction and Project Management. Under the supervision of Dr. Carolyn Hayles, she is conducting research which aims to determine how widely value management is understood and utilized in Australia, United Kingdom and Hong Kong, and what barriers there may be to its expansion. You are invited to participate in this research project by completing a questionnaire, which should take approximately 10 minutes.
