A message from Roger Hudson for Australian web professionals:
---------
The new WIPA site was launched today.
The recently established Web Industry Professionals Association (WIPA) aims
to foster the development of the Web Industry in Australia and provide
forums where people who work in all the different facets of the industry can
come together and exchange ideas.
Australian web professionals can now join WIPA through the new site.
WIPA is not just for one web practice or section of the industry. WIPA is
for all web professionals in Australia including, designers, content
writers, information architects, usability and accessibility specialists,
web developers, interface developers, online content producers etc. In
short, anyone who works in the business and who has an interest in
discussing, promoting and improving the work we do.
WIPA is a not for profit association incorporated in NSW. Although the
incorporation is in NSW, the association is committed to promoting and
representing the work of web professionals throughout Australia. As a clear
demonstration of this commitment, the Association Rules provide for
representation on the Management Committee from all States and Territories
with more than 5 WIPA Members. Also, the position of Vice-President is
reserved for a person who does not live in NSW. The current WIPA Management
Committee has members from the ACT, NSW and Victoria.
There is a variety of other web-related groups in Australia including, the
Web Standards Group, Usability Professionals Association, Oz-IA, AWIA,
Mobile Monday and AIMIA. WIPA aims to work cooperatively with all other
groups in helping to develop a cohesive and sustainable web industry in
Australia.

Roger Hudson
President - Web Industry Professionals Association Incorporated
