Michelle' talks secretary role:
Why is this role available? With trainings, playing, coaching a junior team, helping with pitcher development, add the layer of being busily self employed and parenting. It became apparent that something had to give. So as rewarding as the secretary role is, I made the difficult decision to resign as as club secretary mid-term. This has created a casual vacancy through to the end of it's term at next years AGM.
In my opinion this role is best suited to someone whom may be parent/player/general softball enthusiast who is not already heavily saturated in other commitments and is looking for a way to make a valuable contribution. They'd have good time management, communication and computer skills. You'd work closely with the amazing committee and Suzette (Treasurer) who was secretary for many years and knows what needs to be done. I am also available to help. If you are keen to look at this role please apply on the nomination form or feel free to give me a call to discuss .. Michelle 021713558
