Vale Ernest Roe

Vale Dr Ernest Roe, who died on 15 July, 2020 year aged 100, was a foundation member of HERDSA and served on the Executive for several periods and as President 19830-1985. In 1985 he was awarded Honorary life membership in recognition of his sustained contribution to HERDSA. He took the lead in planning and conducting the highly successful series of national workshops on evaluation skills when the concept was in its infancy. He was the founding Director of the Teaching and Educational Development Institute (TEDI) at the University of Queensland. His enthusiasm, expertise, wise counsel, and seemingly boundless energy have been given freely to enhance the reputation of the Society. We are all greatly in his debt.
