RASA Advocacy Project

It was RASA's annual general meeting (AGM) on Friday, and there was a really good turnout. I didn't count but it seemed like more than 50 people to me, from a variety of places around the world. An Iranian breeze blew in a violinist to entertain us, and Ramtin did his usual wonders on guitar. There was also some delicious food.

Amongst a few surprises I ended up taking the minutes (again), receiving a special recognition award on behalf of Chris who has been a dedicated volunteer and considerable asset to the organisation for the last seven months, and being nominated onto the Committee by Nesar (and duly elected).

Over the last couple of years I haven't been as closely involved with RASA as I was in it's first year or so, although I have kept in close touch, and we have continued to support each other in different ways. I feel really happy about recementing this link and developing a new relationship as a committee member. As with any community organisation there are a variety of challenges ahead, but I feel like we can work together to continue our growth towards a vibrant and effective project.
