DESCRIPTION
The Horticultural
Media Association (SA) Inc. was formed in 1994. It provides an
opportunity for people engaged in the various forms of the
horticultural media to meet together to enhance and develop
their roles as media professionals.
While some
presenters and writers are employed by large media organisations
and have ample opportunity to network with colleagues, most work
in isolation - that is, they are self-employed persons often
working from home-based offices - and have little day-to-day
contact with others in the same field. HMA (SA) Inc. has been
very effective in bringing media people, including writers,
radio and television presenters, photographers and others in
associated fields, together in an enjoyable and rewarding way.
The HMA (SA) Inc.
has an elected executive committee which meets bi-monthly prior
to bi-monthly general meetings.
The general
meetings held throughout the year give members an opportunity to
network, socialise and to hear presentations from various
representatives of horticultural and allied industries. An
atmosphere of fun and bonhomie is always a part of HMA (SA)
activities.
