A New Name for the Association

The old FWCIANZ name is no more. From June 22nd the Executive Committee authorised this organisation's operation as the Association of Wall and Ceiling Industries of Australia & New Zealand Inc. - AWCI. The branding is now is consistent with the State Affiliate organisations, and reflects the names of the US and New Zealand groups. The incorporation under this name is based around a revised constitution which more accurately reflects the organisational aims.

The re-badging of AWCI will take a little while to complete, however the messages and material will now go out under the Association name and acronym.

And A New Website Address

Consistent with our name change, AWCI advises that we are now found on the internet at www.awci.org.au Please add that to your favourites listing.
