On this and subsequent pages we aim to share various histories of ASFLA INC and its members. These are ongoing projects and we welcome new ideas and expressions of interest to participate. You can share your ideas with the ASFLA INC Executive by using our contact us form.

In this first installment, we present a timeline of key moments in ASFLA’s history. The documentation for this project was collated by Fran Christie and Maree Stenglin.

Like with any history, we rely on a range of resources, some of which may contain inaccuracies, or may be missing key elements. If you find any mistakes in the timeline, or are able to fill in any of the gaps in our rememberings, we welcome your corrections and contributions. We are particularly keen to have more photographs/videos/visuals (from past conferences/events) in the timeline, so if you have any such materials and are willing to share, please contact us with the details.
