Message from the CEO: Time to work
Weve been overwhelmed by brilliant entries in our first renew-a-thon competition. In only 25 or words or less you have told us what you love the most about being a HISA member. You believe you are part of a forward-thinking community on the cutting edge of digital health. You are gaining personally and professionally through networking. And you value the opportunity to make a real difference in Australian healthcare. Thank you for participating in a fun and rewarding contest! Winners will be notified tomorrow and a selection of entries published on our website.

I have also been gaining your insights in to the HISA strategy. After starting in NSW, last week I visited the Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania branches and gained some great feedback - (a lot more than 25 words!). We will circulate the final document to branches once we have finished consultation.

At the start of our new membership year, I would like to thank you for your ongoing support and also warmly welcome all of the new members who are now part of HISA, Australias digital health community in 2017/2018. Lets get to work!
