chaIrPErsoN’s rEPort It is with much pride that I present my second Annual Report as the Chairman of the Board. We have achieved much, and we should congratulate ourselves. We will continue to improve the services for our clients and working conditions for our staff and volunteers. We will continue to build stronger relationships with the many organisations and communities we share similar goals with. We are a division of <strong>Lifeline</strong> Community Care Queensland. For some years, we have been concerned about our business activity levels. This has come about because of an increase in charity shops and commercial shops with cheaply priced goods, placing us into a more competitive market. I thank all volunteers, shop managers and staff at the Distribution Centre who have worked hard in collecting, sorting, transporting and selling goods through our shops, country sales and bookfests. I also thank all staff in our Finance and Business Sections who have managed the business affairs so efficiently. Your hard work has achieved the excellent results we have experienced during the year. Our various client services have also been busy by providing a high level of counselling as well as other programs. Sometimes the Managers and staff have to perform these tasks under difficult circumstances. I thank them all. With the appointment of the new position of Manager Counselling Services we were able to form an Executive Management Team consisting of this new position as well as the General Manager and Finance Manager. We are confident this team will not only relieve some of General Manager’s heavy work load, but will also be able to direct, plan and manage the programs and business more effectively. I thank them for their dedication and leadership. We have been an active partner with the State-wide Community Disaster Recovery Team. Our work has been highly commended; our well-trained and dedicated staff provided this important emergency service at different areas. I offer my personal thanks to all. The Directors of the Board have contributed toward this successful year by revising the Constitution as well as working hand in hand with staff by establishing four working parties, namely the Staffing, Space, Business Planning and Future Vision Working Parties. This is all part of our current Strategic Planning. We have also sat on various working committees. I thank them all. We still have some issues to resolve with one of our funding providers on the service agreement. There will always be some issues and tasks to work on. There are times when we are disappointed and discouraged when we face issues that seem insurmountable. I have much confidence in you all; you are our most precious resource. I wish you all good health and harmony in your daily life. Taisoo Kim Watson Chairperson chairperson’s rEPort 7
