The Journal's Journey

many truly dedicated people in the profession who have accepted the challenge and have striven to achieve the many goals that have been set over the years. After 50 years the profession is still young, and I sincerely hope we can continue to develop nationally and retain our strong international image. The future looks promising. Already, with preparations well under way for the 13th International Health Records Congress, this year is shaping up to be another important one for our profession. We cannot, however, be complacent. We need to continue to encourage graduates to join the Association when they finish their courses and to become involved with its activities at both State and Federal level. Only in this way, can we ensure that the future of the Association is secure.
