Georges Riverkeeper Executive Group Meeting - February 2021

Welcome back and Happy 2021! Beth Salt has returned as Program Manager to Georges Riverkeeper after being off on maternity leave with her second child. There has also been a turnover in Office Bearers in our Executive Group. Councillor Adrian Wong has moved from our Treasurer to our Chairperson and we welcome Councillor Michael Banasik as Vice Chairperson and Councillor Rey Manoto as Treasurer to the Georges Riverkeeper Executive for the first time! There was quite a bit of housekeeping in this meeting getting Beth and the new Executive Group up to speed. Of note, though is that we have recruited a new Program Coordinator Aquatic Ecologist and the successful candidate, Marion Huxley, will start next week and we’ve started the process of recruiting for a new Administrative and Project Support Officer role.
