**ANZAM Board Members meet with Institutional Members at least twice a year, typically in June and December (in conjunction with the annual ANZAM Conference).

The format of the ANZAM Institutional Meetings includes a forum and a short business meeting. Each forum focuses on a topic which is relevant and important for Institutional Members with a panel of invited speakers followed by small group conversations with report back, and general discussions. The business meetings highlight progress on ANZAM projects and activities including the annual conference, regional events, awards and publications. Input is invited from Institutional Member Representatives on ANZAM’s activities and opportunities for networking are included in the meeting programmes.
