ACTive Voice issue 3 2021

Broadcast Communications Officer – Nominations
required
The Broadcast Communications Officer is responsible
for the bulk of communications between the
committee and the membership as a whole, notifying
all members of upcoming events and news,
distributing the newsletter and other documents, and
any other all-member communication as required.
The Broadcast Communications Officer: receives text
and other details for broadcast from other members
of the committee; prepares the broadcast in the
mailing system; and schedules sending to give
members appropriate notice and reminders to
support member engagement.
General Meetings Coordinator – Nominations
required
In consultation with the President and other
interested members, the General Meetings
Coordinator plans the general meetings program for
the year. The Coordinator: contacts prospective
speakers; writes advertising material for broadcast
email, the website, and the newsletter; organises the
logistics for the meeting; and arranges volunteers to
write up the meeting for inclusion in the newsletter
(with a photo if possible).
ACT Mentoring Coordinator – Nominations welcome
As one of the mentoring program’s team of state and
territory coordinators, the ACT Mentoring
Coordinator has the responsibilities to form
mentoring partnerships of mentors and mentees
(sometimes with help from the national database or
support from the national coordinators), to manage
the financial transactions involved, to get feedback
during and at the end of mentorships, and to report to
the national coordinators.
This is the only committee position which does not
automatically fall vacant at each AGM, as the
appointment is subject to the decision of the IPEd
Mentoring Program Standing Committee.
IPEd Liaison Officer
This is a new role created by the current committee. It
is a role well suited to the immediate past president if
they choose to remain active on the committee, but is
also open to other members.
The Immediate Past President (not elected) is exofficio
a member of the Committee.
General roles
Committee Member – Nominations welcomed
General Committee Members do not have specific
roles or routine tasks, but are expected to attend
monthly committee meetings and to have a voice on
the matters for discussion. Committee Members may
volunteer or may be asked to help with any projects
or tasks on hand or to help office bearers with their
duties, especially professional development,
newsletter and website. ‘Many hands make light
work’ and contributions from general members are
always welcomed.
Catering Coordinator – position filled, but
nominations are welcomed
The Catering coordinator is not usually a committee
member, and so does not automatically fall vacant at
each AGM. Usually, the Catering Coordinator
coordinates the catering for the monthly general
meetings by maintaining a roster of volunteers to
supply the food and drinks. The Catering Coordinator
and volunteers lay out the tables, clean up after the
meeting, and pass on the CSE’s ‘catering kit’ to the
volunteer for the next meeting.
Publicity Officer – Nominations welcomed
In consultation with the President and the committee,
the Publicity Officer publicises the society’s activities
in appropriate publications and other media. This
position has not been filled for some years, but the
new website may serve as a catalyst to revive
publicity activity for CSE.
