SWAN RIVER CHAPTER REPRESENTED ON THE BOARD OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF FIRST FLEETERS
It has been a very busy year for both the Swan River Chapter and the Head Office of the Fellowship and the Board of Directors.
In April this year, Paul Gooding, Chapter Liaison Director, attended an SRC meeting and provided plenty of information to the members present with regard to the operations of Head Office and the Board.
As a result of that involvement with Paul, Alex Aitken was asked to consider taking on a Directorship on the Fellowship Board and accepting the Plaques portfolio.
Alex accepted the role and has been to Head Office to find out more about the role and has attended all board meetings since.
With the retirement of the Company Secretary being imminent, Alex was asked if he would take on the role of Company Secretary, but this was declined as he did not think he had the qualifications for the job but recommended Bill Cutler for the position.
Subsequent to discussions with the President Bill accepted the position and was elected to the Company Secretary Role at the recent Fellowship AGM. Swan River Chapter now has two Directors on the Board of the Fellowship.
We congratulate Bill on taking on this onerous position.
The Board are looking forward to a very busy 2025 with lots of work for all Directors with things like new website, membership changes, engagement with other societies and the appraisal of First Fleet House for upgrades or other opportunities to improve the efficiency for all FFF members.
