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.

Overseers Needed for 2025-2026
One of our current Overseers, Zel Seputich has decided to step down after many years of dedicated service. He was ably assisted by Helen Marinovich. We extend our heartfelt thanks to them for the amazing job they have done for the Society and wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
We are now calling for a member to take on this important task along with John Garelja and Tanja Schipper Nola who have indicated that they wish to continue in this role for 2025-2026 in accordance with the following rule:
