The Board and local organising committees have been working hard to ensure our Sustainability Workshop in June 2026 and Annual Conference in September 2026 build on the successes of previous events. Further detail on both events is below.<br /><br /> Our annual benchmarking process has now closed and the data submitted continues to be of a high standard. I thank all contributing institutions for their continued support in this very important and valuable data set. The benchmark data will be provided to our partner ARUP who will again be developing the TEFMA Benchmark Insights publication. We are aiming to present the final version at the Melbourne TEFMA Conference in September 2026.<br /><br /> We have embarked on a process to refresh two key TEFMA documents – the strategic asset management plan and the asset auditing guidelines. TEFMA engaged GHD through a competitive process to lead a Special Interest Group (SIG) to refresh both documents, and I am very pleased to advise that we have 17 people representing institutions from Australia New Zealand on the SIG. The refreshed guidelines will be published on the TEFMA Community Portal in July 2026. My thanks to the SIG Chair (Michael Bird), the TEFMA General Manager (Matt Smith), all SIG members and the GHD team. <br /></span></p></div></div></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="row row-5" align="center" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;background-color:#e1e1e1"><tbody><tr><td><table class="row-content stack" align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;background-color:#fff;color:#000;width:815px" width="815"><tbody><tr><td class="column column-1" width="100%" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;font-weight:400;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><table class="divider_block block-1" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad" style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px" align="center"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" width="100%" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="divider_inner" style="font-size:1px;line-height:1px;border-top:1px solid #24abe2"><span style="word-break: break-word;"> </span></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="row row-6" align="center" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tbody><tr><td><table class="row-content stack" align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;background-color:#fff;border-radius:0;color:#000;width:815px" width="815"><tbody><tr><td class="column column-1" width="100%" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;font-weight:400;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="col-pad" style="padding-bottom:5px;padding-top:5px"><table class="empty_block block-1" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad"><div></div></td></tr></table> </td></tr></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="row row-7" align="center" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;background-color:#e1e1e1"><tbody><tr><td><table class="row-content stack" align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;background-color:#fff;color:#000;width:815px" width="815"><tbody><tr><td class="column column-1" width="100%" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;font-weight:400;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><table class="divider_block block-1" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad" style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px" align="center"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" width="100%" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="divider_inner" style="font-size:1px;line-height:1px;border-top:1px solid #24abe2"><span style="word-break: break-word;"> </span></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><table class="text_block block-2" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;word-break:break-word"><tr><td class="pad"><div style="font-family:sans-serif"><div class style="font-size:12px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;mso-line-height-alt:14.399999999999999px;color:#555;line-height:1.2"><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:14.399999999999999px"><strong>Scholarships and Awards</strong></p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:14.399999999999999px"> </p><p style="margin:0;text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt:14.399999999999999px"> Applications for the TEFMA 2026 Excellence Awards and Scholarships opened late March and will close on 8 June 2026.
