ATTENTION ALL SES UNIT MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS
SESVA Secretary Retirement & Expressions of Interest
Hello to you,
I trust you have had a safe and restful Easter.
I write to you to advise the Association’s Secretary, Mr Lin Booth, has retired after the best part of 10 Years servicing our SES Units and members.
One thing guaranteed in our current time is the Association Management Committee will miss Lin’s high-level commitment and advocacy skills which produced countless positive outcomes. Like all good administrators, Lin worked quietly and tirelessly in the background ensuring the back of house was kept in good order. Lin’s considerable skills were not limited to back of house operations, he also had a leadership role in many Committees and working groups with DFES.
The great thing is Lin will remain on many groups to continue his Orange Family commitment, but will be able to devote more time to pursue his passion to travel extensively with his wife Wendy. We wish Wendy and Lin the very best.
So why do I write to you? With Lin retired the Association is seeking expressions of interest from SES members to be nominated and considered for the job of SES Volunteers Association Secretary.
Please circulate this Association President’s note to allow as many people as possible the opportunity to further serve the SES Volunteers in this capacity.
In the first instance, I offer my mobile and email as a primary point of contact:
Greg Mobile: 0418 403 960

Please call or email to discuss the Secretary role so we can all proceed open eyed and understand that this is an Association Management Committee appointment.
The role description as written in the Association Constitution:

- Deal with the Association’s correspondence;
- Consult with the President regarding the business to be conducted at each meeting;
