Treasurer Needed for
2025-2026

We wish to advise that there is now a vacancy for the position of Treasurerfor the 2025–2026 term, following the very recent withdrawal of Nicolette Palinich’s nomination.

We extend our sincere thanks to Nicolette for her six years of dedicated service on the Management Committee, most notably in her role as Treasurer, where her contributions have greatly enhanced the effectiveness and value of this position.  We wish her every best wish for her future endeavours.

A nomination from the floor will be sought at the upcoming Annual General Meeting to appoint a new Treasurer for the term ahead.
