PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Ron F. Wyatt, Immediate
Past President.
Having come to the end of my two year term of office I recall the highlights as
being the 17th Convention at the Gold Coast, the most successful in our industries
history, and the 18th in Melbourne, which despite the handicap of the
pilots dispute was a resounding success.
It is pleasing to see that our industry has recognised the necessity to become
self regulating in the aspect of safety and I commend the efforts of each State
and the N.S.W. Region and our National Secretary who are to use the Chamber
of Manufacturers considerable resources to produce an Industry Safety
Manual.
We now have a Hire Industry Journal that is well received by the members
and well supported by the suppliers advertisements. I would however again
urge members to submit articles and information for which the editor will be
grateful. Remember, if you give, give, give, you get, get, get in return!
We have also seen the placement of various superannuation schemes
throughout our Industry. Lets hope that the previous sentence applies to our
investment in people.
The HA A. insurance brokerage now appears to be more aware of our industries
problems and poised to advise and direct us in our specific areas as
well as in the wording of our hire contracts.
Having just returned from the A.RA. Convention my wife and I being feted by
their Executive Director, out-going and incoming Presidents, the differences
in office are incredible. Presidents of the American Rental Association and
their wives, virtually walk away from their business for 12 months attending
their regional meetings as well as various International conventions.
Whereas, my two year term has comprised of no more than a few meetings,
two of which have been at Conventions. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining,
I am just comparing.
I make the observation that as our association progresses, voluntary offices
will become more demanding. Victoria have led the way with a professional
State Director. I think the next move is for a National Director.
I wish to thank past and present National Delegates, our National Secretary,
my own secretary and my employer, Flextool.for their co-operation, input, encouragement
and support during my two years. I wish the incoming President
and delegates a successful and full filling term.
Ron F. Wyatt
Immediate Past President
