Highlights of the Annual Report include:

• Success of the Liaison Person Program that enabled Network committee members to communicate and consult with member U3As, and the feedback has been positive and appreciated.
• A Teams concept within Network that provides a structure for small groups to complete bodies of work within their remit, without tying up all committee members on the same project.
• The success of the new Network website launched at the State Conference in Pine Rivers last year that has proved to be a successful and valued digital asset, including a recent upgrade to provide an Event Management and Conference Registration application being used for this year’s State Conference.
• The imminent introduction of U3A Port Douglas as the 36th U3A Network member.
• Success of the Queensland road trip by the President visiting U3As in rural and regional centres including Rockhampton, Townsville, Emerald and Charters Towers.
• Incorporation of U3A Alliance Australia as U3A Australia Inc.
• Continuing strategic partnerships with AIUTA, COTA, NBN and the University of Queensland Healthy Ageing initiative.
• Two stalwarts of Network in Secretary Alison Taylor and Treasurer Bronwyn Pedler stepping down at the AGM having completed years of excellent service within the Network Management Committee.
