Last month marked 10 years since we became the Internet Association of Australia.
Back in January 2016, our community was growing well beyond Western Australia. With the successful launch of NSW-IX, momentum building nationally, and NZIX taking shape, it became clear our name needed to reflect who we really were.
Under President Tom Berryman, the Association proposed a change from the Western Australian Internet Association (WAIA) to the Internet Association of Australia (IAA).
- We had the logo.
- We had the domain.
- We had the vision.
What we needed was Member support.
At a well-attended Special General Meeting in Perth, Members overwhelmingly backed the change, reflecting our evolution from a WA-centric organisation to one with national reach and purpose.
Who can say what the next decade will bring?
