Secretary needed for 2010

The position of ACCESS Secretary falls vacant at the end of 2009.

So we need a volunteer to fill the role.

The duties are not onerous at all, and it's very flexible in how tasks are divided between the President (Jocelyne Poirier) and the Secretary. Primarily it involves some organisation of the meetings (usually four or maybe five a year), and taking minutes.

Please consider it - it's a worthwhile thing to do... any questions, please contact Jocelyne Poirier at jpkcsolutions@gmail.com or Dianne Miers at dnmiers@wbmpl.com.au
