Biography at time of election

Dr. Bright, the most senior Systems Engineer with IBM Australia, has worked for that company for the past nineteen years. His value to the organisation is reflected in his having been promoted in both 1968 and 1973 to positions not previously provided in the Australian operation.

The quality of Dr. Bright's work has led to widespread recog­nition in the business community, where he is accepted as a leader in the fields of computer applications and design of large on-line systems.

His wide experience in the industry has led to his help being widely sought in the planning of data processing systems and, particularly, in the rigorous approach which is essential if major disasters are to be avoided.
