The Clean Air Society of Australia and New Zealand (CASANZ) is a nongovernmental, nonprofit organization first formed in the late 1960's to bring together people with an interest in clean air and the mechanics of air pollution. Its focus is now expanded to encompass broader environmental management affairs, but with particular reference to air quality and related issues.
The objects of the society are to promote the protection of the environment:
-
Through advancement of knowledge and practical experience of environmental and air quality management.
-
By providing an organization which may gather and distribute the experience and knowledge of its members.
-
By providing lectures, exhibitions, public meetings and conferences as a forum to expand knowledge of environmental matters, especially air quality, including causes, effects, measurement, legislative aspects and control of pollution.
-
By liaison with organizations with similar interests in other countries.
-
By printing and publication of any paper, periodical, book or leaflet that the society may think desirable.
-
By providing scholarships, bursaries, monetary grants, awards and prizes to encourage the study of relevant subjects or disciplines.
CASANZ is governed by its Committee, consisting of the elected Executive, other Society office-holders and representatives nominated by Branches. The Executive committee manages the day to day activities of the Society and directs the work of the part time Executive Officer.
CASANZ operates through autonomous branches which determine their own programs of activities, including technical meetings, seminars, workshops, conferences, training courses etc. Details of these activities are circulated to Branch members (and posted at this web site).
To benefit from the extensive resources of the Society and to be kept up to date on Society functions, one must subscribe for membership. Full membership benefits are available only to Society members.
