There are some new faces on Council and revised roles for 2016-2017

The AIG Council usually meets every two months by teleconference.  The first Council meeting following the AGM is the one time that Council meets face to face to provide an effective means of dealing with important strategy and governance issues, as well as learning more about their colleagues who they will be working with remotely throughout the remainder of the year.
