I would like to thank Members for their support, and hope that I shall be able to demonstrate that it was not misplaced. I would also like to express not only my personal thanks, but also that of our entire membership, to the immediate past President, Arie Freiberg; Secretary, Gayre Christie; and Treasurer, Belinda Carpenter, for their capable stewardship over the past few years. And I would like to welcome our new Secretary and Treasurer, John Myrtle and Heather Strang, to their respective offices. My involvement with the Society goes back a long way. I recall my first encounter: As a visitor at the Sydney University Institute of Criminology early in 1973, I was invited to attend a meeting of the Society's Executive. Advised that drinks would be served, I gratefully accepted. My most vivid recollection is of the then Editor of the ANZJC, Dr Allen Bartholomew, encouraging submissions to the Journal. Flattered by his invitation, I tried my luck, and my first professional publi- cation appeared there in 1974. When I migrated to Australia four years later, and began to become involved in the Society's activities, it struck me that the Society appeared to be dominated by be-suited, grey-haired men. Although gender was the only one of these properties which I shared with the power elite in those days, I'm afraid that after two decades, I have now become part of the problem. Actually, the state of Australian and New Zealand criminology is healthier than ever. Its scope and diversity is refreshing. We can boast of world-class scholars in our ranks, female and male. Whatever one may think of citation analysis, our Journal sits alongside Criminology, the British Journal of Criminology, and the Canadian Journal of Criminology, as a basic source for David Farrington's assessment of the most influential criminologists in the English-speaking world. Our Annual Conference, once a peripheral section of the ANZAAS Meeting, now stands proudly on its own feet, and has become an international event. The academic study of criminology and criminal justice is booming from Wellington to Perth. But we must always take care not to neglect the next generation of Australian and New Zealand criminologists - those who have yet to turn grey and whose attire remains relatively comfortable. I am pleased to announce that our Executive has taken a number of steps to encourage our younger colleagues. First, we have decided to offer a reduced membership fee for full time students at $68 per year. More established members will be pleased to know that the cost of regular membership has been reduced by slightly over 10%, to $85 per year. I would like to be able to offer membership at the rate prevailing when I first joined - $10 (sic) per year, but that could lead to our being placed in receivership. Second, the Executive has decided to establish two new annual awards to recog- THE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF CRIMINOLOGY VOLUME 32 NUMBER I 1999 PRi-i
