This week the Secretariat welcomes Thomas Williams to the Data and Information Systems (DIS) team in the role of Database Administrator/Technical Analyst. Thomas relocated to Tasmania from Melbourne with his family at the beginning of the year and is an experienced database administrator spending more than 20 years at a major metropolitan hospital in this role. We look forward to making Thomas welcome both at the Secretariat and here in Tasmania while he contributes his wealth of knowledge and experience to the CCAMLR family.
