Hello ALARA Member

Further to the announcement  by ALARA's Secretary's about the Annual General Meeting (see below), I wanted to emphasise the need for nominations for the positions on the Board and Committees Group.

Both the Secretary and Treasurer are not re-nominating, as their work conditions have changed. We thank both Kavita and Natalie for their support and efforts over the last 2-3 years.

In addition, I have been in the President's role for 16 years, and I am looking for someone to take over from me who will further develop and grow ALARA's services and reach.

Please consider nominating for a Board role or a Co-ordinator's role. Please remember, ALARA needs volunteers to provide its services to members and the community. Nominations close on Friday night, 21 August 2026.

Colin Bradley
President
