Dear CAN groups,
At the next AGM, we will be in need of an elected officer to replace Adrian Croucher, the long serving CAN Secretary. In addition Glen Koorey, the current CAN Deputy Chair and committee member, will not be standing for re-election.
Involvement at the national level gives one an opportunity to provide collective leadership for CAN and to help shape the strategic direction for cycling advocacy at a national level.
I would encourage you as a group to consider who locally in your area could be in a position to become a CAN committee member.
There are formal descriptions for the roles being vacated that can be viewed on the CAN website. The links for these have been given below. Adrian plans to continue in his roles regarding membership and e.CAN (unless anyone else develops a burning desire to take those over), so if anyone wants to put themselves forward for secretary it doesn't mean they have to take over everything he is doing now.
For more information or to express an interest, please contact either Adrian, Glen or myself. To access links to contact us, go to this page:
