Gala Dinner dancing
Associate Professor Margaret Maclagan with Stella Ward.
Associate Professor Alison Ferguson
Associate Professor Alison Ferguson presented the Betty
Usher Memorial Lecture on the Discourse of Speech-
Language Pathology and challenged us to critically reflect on
the discourse of speech pathology.
There were a number of opportunities for people to get
together and share ideas with special interest group and
member network lunches a particular highlight.
The CPC was delighted to have the support of the
conference sponsors and the exhibitors who made a
particular effort to bring their displays to New Zealand.
The Gala dinner proved to be a social highlight with an
impressive range of “bling” on display, not to mention
dancing which was up to the usual high standard! Despite
some dysphonia the next day, delegates turned out in full
force for the action packed final day.
The Adelaide Conference was launched at the Gala dinner
with delegates decked out with glow bracelets. We passed the
baton to the Adelaide CPC and look forward to seeing you all
in Adelaide in May 2009.
