Thank you to the 900 plus colleagues who voted in our recent elections. Mark Pritchard  (Returning Officer) reminds me that it is one of the best turn outs we have had.

Our new Executive become active following our Annual Conference in Term 4. Congratulations to the following who will take our Association to bigger and better things. Thank you for those who stood as candidates and were unsuccessful at this time.

We had two candidates for the Secretary but both were elected as Vice Presidents. We therefore have two vacant positions Secretary and Treasurer and the Returning Officer will follow up with further elections next Term.

A huge thanks to our departing Executive members Ian Reeson & Lyn Davis. Ian has been on Executive for many years and as website manager has been a key member of our communication improvements. His liaison role with various Reference Groups has been exemplary and his organisation of State Council has been extraordinary. Lyn has been an integral member of the Leadership Standing committee and key liaison for the wonderful work of the Leadership Standing committee over the years (we are now offering a great range of PL and have a Director of Professional Learning). Lyn has also been a strong voice with the Principal Support RG and was integral in pushing for 1.2 FTE Professional Support Officers to support our colleagues. Their support will be greatly missed.
