Hello Commpsych Listers and fellow travellers

Even if you are not an APS member or Community Psychologist, many of you might be interested to join us for this very special AGM presentation of the APS College of Community Psychologists' 2024 Robin Winkler Award<https://psychology.org.au/about-us/what-we-do/awards/college/ccom/robin-winkler-award-applied-community-psychology> <https://psychology.org.au/about-us/what-we-do/awards/college/ccom/robin-winkler-award-applied-community-psychology> this Tuesday, 18 March at 7pm (AEDT). This year we are delighted to welcome Chris Winkler and Nicole Winkler to offer reflections on their father's career, as the award is presented.

The winning project, titled Supporting and Advancing Aboriginal Communities in Metropolitan Melbourne<https://www.communityidentity.com.au/portfolio/supporting-and-advancing-aboriginal-communities-in-metropolitan-melbourne/>, was completed at Moondani Balluk, Victoria University by Rachel Jones, Marei Witjes and Grace Killmer. We are fortunate to have the project team join us at the AGM for a brief overview of their work, and we look forward to inviting them back later in the year for a full presentation.

The Robin Winkler Award was set up (I think) by Brian Bishop and Art Veno, not long after Robin's untimely death. I've just dug up this announcement from the December 1988 issue of the Community Psychology publication Network (now the Australian Community Psychologist):

Welcome to the second edition of NETWORK for 1988.
Robin Winkler award for applied community psychology research
The Council of the Australian Psychological Society has approved the Board of Community Psychologists to award a $250.00 prize for Applied Community Psychology Research for the year 1988-1989. Each year a judge will be selected from Australia to determine the recipient of this annual award. Professor Emeritus George Singer will act as the sole judge for the 1988-1989 year's award. Professor Emeritus Singer was selected due to his work relationship with the late Robin Winkler and his expertise in applied research. The award will be presented at the annual conference of the Australian Psychological Society and announced on the previous June 30th. Please let the Board know of any research which might be in the running for this prize.

If anyone has any other information on the history of the award, we'd love to hear from you.
