| Dear ~~first_name~~,
Embarrassingly! the note at the top of last week's newsletter about the incorrect Annual General Meeting (AGM) date was, in fact, a repeat of the same incorrect date. The correct date for TASA's 2020 AGM is Thursday November 26th, 2:30pm - 3:30pm AEDT.
We are happy to share that if you missed last week's TASA Thursdays Webinar with Joseph Borlagdan speaking on 'Poverty and homelessness', you can watch the recording via TASA's YouTube channel here.
| Our warm congratulations are extended to fellow member Catriona Stevens who has been awarded a Forrest Research Foundation Prospect Fellowship. Catriona will commence her project, titled 'Understanding our Migrant Aged Care Workforce to create healthier, safer futures for older Western Australians' in 2021 based in the UWA Social Care and Ageing Living Lab. This is the first time the Forrest Research Foundation has granted a fellowship to a social scientist.
