Who was John Little?
John Little was a former Technical Association (TA) Victorian Branch Chairman, TA Federal President and one of the stalwarts of the Association. It was John's foresight that set the Association on the path to professionalism. John was a Technician who believed that there was a role for the Technician as a skilled practical scientific researcher. Following his untimely death due to a heart attack, the Association Council decided to establish the Scholarship in his honour.
