"Caretaker" Zone Co-ordinator Appointed

---

29 May 2012

Due to the lack of nominations for the position of Mid South Coast Zone Co-ordinator representatives from LANSW were in attendance at the recent Zone AGM.

LANSW CEO Kerry O'Keefe thanked the outgoing Zone Co-ordinator, Craig Scott, for the wonderful job he had done over the years.  In doing so she stressed the important role played by the Zone Co-ordinator, not only at Centre level, but as a conduit between Centres and LANSW.  Kerry also indicated that should the Mid South Coast Zone be unable to appoint a Zone Co-ordinator the worst case scenario could be to reassign the Centres to another Zone.

LANSW believed that, under the circumstances, the best course of action was to appoint a “caretaker” Zone Co-ordinator to the Mid South Coast Zone and the preferred choice for this “caretaker” role was the outgoing Zone Co-ordinator, Craig Scott.  As such Kerry asked Craig if he was willing to continue as Zone Co-ordinator in a “caretaker” capacity.

After due consideration Craig agreed under the following conditions:

a.  That his wife was comfortable with his decision.
b.  That a Zone Secretary was elected.
c.  That this would definitely be his final term as Zone Co-ordinator.

It was also recommended that a successor be identified so that he/she could be coached by Craig and eventually take over the role of Zone Co-ordinator.
