Management Committee
The Management Committee has undergone several changes since the last Talking Point. Farrah Tate has resigned due to her study commitments; she will be concentrating on Talking Point which in itself is enough work!
Peter Evans and Luke Pullen have joined the Management Committee and have been able already to make valuable contributions.
In our seemingly never-ending quest for a permanent Treasurer we have finally found one in Margaret Wing. We are so glad she has offered her services; thanks go to Marion Hansen who did a great job as an interim Treasurer until we found someone who could take the job on fully. Marion continues on the Management Committee.
We have been very lucky to receive assistance from SACOSS, who have provided funding for an auditor. Since this Committee was inducted, we have had to do a catch-up job Treasury-wise. Thanks go Fiona Thompson, Marion Hansen and Stephany Retallick who have got them under control.
It is a priority, once an audit is completed to the end of the financial year, that the Management Committee set out budgets for the next 12 months. This will ensure any new management committee coming into office will know where they stand from the beginning of their term.
The Management Committee is pleased to announce that Lyn Rossiter has been made a Life-member of the Society for her many years of service as Talking Point Editor.
Management Committee Tasks
We have many jobs ahead of us before we finish out our term as a management committee. Over the next few months we will be:
|
1) |
updating our Information/Brochure Packs. We have already started work on this but it has been delayed and taking longer than first anticipated; |
|
2) |
updating our Doctors’ list – in fact we are going to overhaul our list and set up criteria for GPs to be on our referral’s list, and to work toward increasing the number of GPs on it. We also hope to list the treatments different clinicians use, so members interested in a particular type can be referred to a clinician using that treatment; |
|
3) |
embarking on a promotion campaign to encourage as many GPs as possible to take out a Talking Point subscription and work more closely with us; |
|
4) |
developing OHS, Conflict Resolution and Harassment Policies; |
|
5) |
increasing support for Support Group Leaders; and |
|
6) |
applying for funding. |
The latter is so crucial if we wish to expand our services. Unfortunately, as with many other things, I had hoped to be further advanced in grant writing. The good news is we have done the bulk of the hard work to gather all the information we need to write good, solid grant applications. We just need to bring that stuff together and we are on our way.
