3. Volunteer Co-ordinator position
Discussion of what needs to be done now that Estefania has indicated her intention to resign. Assistant Manager has been asked by Allie to familiarise herself with the requirements of the position. Casual hours for half of the position envisaged by Allie for the short term. Allocation of MC responsibilities volunteered as follows:
- Membership -- Bruce, with Tom for IT aspects;
- Events – Cam;
- Volunteers – Steve.
4. Allie's issue
Discussion, including of financial position of AH. With latest changes projections indicated that AH will likely be about $2,000 per month better than break even.
Agreed that Allie was entitled to engage more casuals to have a larger pool to draw on.
5. Steve Catt's position
Steve said that he would be away for 3 months from September to November and that he felt that was not consistent with him continuing to be Secretary or MC member, and accordingly he would eventually have to resign. A new Secretary and a new MC member would have to be found. Steve was willing to help transition the new people into their roles.
