​
Our organisation needs active participants. We invite all members to come along to hear reports of our activities and finances for the previous year, and to elect Committee Members for the forthcoming year.

As we already had several vacant positions in the 2022/2023 Committee this means that we are now be seeking members to nominate for the roles listed below: 

President – provide leadership in the determination of policy direction, planning requirements and program needs; chair meetings; act as spokesperson and representative for the organisation; ensure that the management committee is aware of its governance responsibilities; accept overall responsibility and accountability for the functioning of the organisation.

Vice President – stand in for the President as chair of a meeting or representative of the organisation in the temporary absence or unavailability of the President; assist the President or any member of the Management Committee to carry out the duties of their office; resolve complaints.

Asset Manager – liaise with council regarding lease issues; review the building maintenance schedule/provision annually; manage suppliers/service providers for Boyd Street; recommend major equipment purchases; manage the annual audit of all assets.

Office Manager – recruit office volunteers; compile a roster of attendance on the desk; train office volunteers; update the procedures manual; liaise with the Treasurer regarding any issues on financial payments.

Publicity & Promotions Manager – develop contacts with the local media and council publicity officers; raise the profile of the organisation through showcasing our programs at suitable events; distribute promotional materials; write articles for publication.

Each of these positions plays a vital part in the operation of our organization and without people to perform these roles our organization cannot exist. In fact, without a President, we are unable to legally continue.

Please think about nominating for one of these positions so that our wonderful organization can continue offering the classes, friendship, and social activities that we all value so much. Your skills do not exactly have to match those listed above as roles can be adjusted to suit. 

Nomination forms are available from the U3A Office and can be downloaded here. If you would like more details, please talk to a current Committee member or phone President Liz on 0406519369 for further information.
