The 8th Meeting had 36 attendees from 3 countries: Australia (29), New Zealand (4), and United States (3). In terms of faculty-to-student ratio, the Academy had 6 tenured members and 15 students in attendance (i.e., 1 to 3 ratio). Many thanks to all who made this possible, particularly Brendan Mulhern and Richard Norman, who chaired the meeting.
