Presidents reflect on ANZCA : past and future

What follows is an edited transcript of a session from the 2002 Annual Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA) held at Greenmount Resort, Coolangatta, Queensland. This session appeared in the program as 'Past Presidents Reflect' and on the conference website as 'New Directions from Past Presidents'. It sought to bring together the past presidents of ANZCA who were present at the conference to reflect on the organisation and their period of involvement. As someone with a research interest in the history of communication studies in Australia, I took an interest in trying to bring the session to publication, which has happened thanks to the promptings of Mary Power and the efforts of Roslyn Petelin.
