The Annual General Meeting on Tuesday evening was bittersweet, as we marked an important milestone. After serving the maximum six-year term as Chair, Tina Pham has completed her time in this role.

Tina first joined the Victorian Branch in 2014, became Vice Chair in 2017, and stepped into the Chair role in 2019. Under her leadership, the Victorian Branch has continued to be the most active committee in Australia, delivering an extraordinary program of workshops, forums, and conferences. From national scientific meetings to countless haematology workshops, and the COVID-19 webinar forums when we could no longer meet in person, the breadth and consistency of these events has been an incredible achievement.

Beyond the long list of events, Tina has set a benchmark of dedication, professionalism, and vision that has strengthened the Victorian Branch and left it in an excellent position for the future.

On behalf of the committee and our members, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Tina for her commitment and the energy she has brought to this role.

Thank you, Tina! We wish you all the very best in your future endeavours!

Last night the AIMS Victorian Branch held our Annual General Meeting, reflecting on another busy year of activities. Throughout 2024–25, our committee has strived to deliver high-quality, relevant, and engaging professional development opportunities for our members.

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our returning and new committee members – and also farewell those who are not continuing on – for generously volunteering your time and energy. Your enthusiasm and teamwork are what make the Victorian Branch so active and successful!

We were also very proud to recognise Yuh Ping Chong and Niki Lee as the recipients of the George Milsom Memorial Award for 2025. Congratulations to both on your outstanding achievements! 👏👏
