A message from Michael Voumard, ATDC Chairperson

Dear Members,

This year the ATDC Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday, 23 September 2020 (more information will be forthcoming regarding the time and location of this meeting).

This year, Elected Directors Penny Chugg (The Salvation Army) and Penny Egan (Cancer Council Tasmania) will be completing their first term on the ATDC Board. Both have confirmed that they will be seeking re-election.

Any member of the ATDC is eligible to also submit an expression of interest for these two Elected Director roles.

If you are interested, and have knowledge, skills or experience in any of the following areas I encourage you to get in contact with me (details below).

• Alcohol, tobacco and other drug treatment services and program delivery
• Financial management
• Government relations
• Consumer representation or alcohol, tobacco or other drugs lived experience

Not-for-profit governance experience is preferred, and Elected Directors are appointed to two-year terms.

Each position is voluntary and there is no remuneration but reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.

Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month, and generally last for two hours (and can be accessed remotely).
