The ability to do this also means the organisation has to move with the times. Iva Quarisa Executive Officer, IREC THE past 12 months have been hectic with a number of changes for IREC. In addition to strengthening our partnerships, IREC has also made some administrative improvements, one of which is making the IREC Farmers’ Newsletter available in digital format. This summer edition of the IREC Farmers’ Newsletter is the second in a digital format and we are still finding the best fit. All feedback would be greatly welcomed as we want to ensure the best reading experience for you, our members and readers. Along with the move of the IREC Farmers’ Newsletter into the digital age, you may have noticed IREC has reinvigorated its logo and website. We believe the IREC website is now easier to navigate while still housing a wide range of valuable information. Our calendar of events is a new addition to the website. This calendar not only lists all relevant industry activities throughout the year but also provides details of upcoming IREC events. Another important feature on the website is the resource tab. This not only links to the latest and past editions of the IREC Farmers’ Newsletter but it also links to various crop and industry publications, videos and organisations, as well as Upstream News. Upstream News is the IREC bi-monthly electronic newsletter which is sent to all IREC members. The aim of Upstream News is to keep you in the loop on IREC-related activities, research, events and partnerships — in a succinct, easy-to-read format. We hope these improvements to the way IREC communicates with members makes accessing information easier for you, as well as adding value to your membership of IREC. Your feedback and thoughts on how we can continue to improve are always very welcome. Further information Iva Quarisa T: 02 6963 0936 E: [email protected]
