Human Resources
Reflecting previous year’s experience we had a turnover of personnel – people were able to give what they could whilst their health allowed it. Throughout the year we had a total of 13 Management Committee members.
However a lot has been left to a few. This is not sustainable – we need people who can be involved for 5-10 years not just 1-2 years. It is important we develop a knowledge base.
Despite our good intentions over the years, history has shown we (people with CFS) struggle to have the stamina and energy to see jobs through. The Management Committee has made an important decision that we must pursue healthy to work in our office. Ideally we would have a paid person who would look after the banking and processing of memberships, and other key administrative jobs. This would ensure continuity and professionalism in the organisation. We must not expect people with chronic fatigue syndrome to take on the burden of administering the Society. We also see the value in volunteers who are healthy and can make a commitment. We have made good progress, and will continue to work with Volunteering SA.
Moving toward a more professional method of operation involves have a small team of people working in the office (too many cooks spoil the broth).
In September/October and the Management Committee made a decision of hiring a temp to assist us with processing memberships / banking / filing. We allocated $5000 for this task. We are actively in the process of seeking funding for that position to continue.
