THIS MONTH'S HIGHLIGHTS
Message from the Immediate Past President 2008
Dear AAWP Members,
The pressure of time and available energy leads us all to make decisions about what to prioritise and what to leave on the to-do-when-I-have-time list. When attention is focused on a series of complex and important tasks, however, it is easy to lose sight of others, and prioritising well means reassessing what has been relegated to background importance that might need to be brought back nearer to the top of that to-do list.
