Vice-President’s Report (continued)

Education Support Program

The Society now has an Education Support Program which is being co-ordinated by our Secretary, Stephany Retallick. She has been dialoguing with SSABSA and has made some breakthroughs concerning the rights of persons with ME/CFS undertaking secondary education. A group of SAYME parents will now work toward improving the consideration these people receive, and will document information for other parents of secondary students.

If you come by anyone doing Secondary Education who is having difficulty dealing with their school, or just struggling in their situation then please get them to ring the office to speak with someone from the School Support Program.

Strategic Planning

The Management Committee has commenced strategic planning; our preliminary discussions have helped us to map out the sorts of services that we need to develop. A full report on that will follow later in the year.

In order to gain a rough idea of the services our member’s would like, we surveyed attendees of the May 12 Seminar. We understand that this was not a representative sample of you all, but it was clear that many people would appreciate self-management courses. Several things have reiterated the importance of developing such courses since that day. We are convinced it is a priority consideration.

Membership Fees

Members should have received their membership renewal form by the time this edition is published. You will see that we have reduced some of the fees, and have introduced a split system where new members pay a little more than renewing members – to try to encourage renewal on time.

We have included a new membership category – the Family Concession rate for families where the breadwinners are concession holders.
