Presidents UpdateTim McGahan ACS Well it is that time of year again and the National ACS awards and half yearly meeting was held in Adelaide over the May long weekend. I would like to congratulate our Queensland award winners - Simon Christidis ACS with a Golden Tripod for his work on "Oceans" in the Wildlife & Nature category, Tony Luu ACS a Golden Tripod in Documentaries, Cinema & TV for "Who we Are" and an Award of Distinction to Gamal El Boushi in the TV Station Breaks/Promo for Masr Elnahrda -"Egypt Today". The new ACS website was launched over the weekend and with it comes the new membership portal. We are also approaching the conclusion of the financial year and our membership cycle, there are still some members with outstanding dues and we have been working our way through contacting these members to seek payment and confirm memberships or discontinue a membership. As I have said before the management of the membership, fees, cards etc hasn't been ideal in the past but we are very close to a final solution, so I thank you for your patience.
