WIA Committee Revitalisation Project - VK4ADC - 06-10-2017
The WIA Committee system review is almost complete, with WIA Vice President David Ford VK4MZ taking the lead but all directors are showing great interest in it.
The committees perform functions and activities, however a few may be loosely organised, or volunteers on them overstretched at times.
Mainly the leaders were last month asked simple questions to enable the WIA board to learn more about the committees.
The aims are for them to report regularly to the WIA board, advertise vacancies, and make greater use of the WIA mediums including the website and the VK1WIA broadcast. So far there have been responses from the Historical Archive Committee, Technical Advisory Committee, Education Committee, and the newly appointed QSL Bureau Committee, plus the coordinators of Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS), and Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF).
Inquiries have also been received including those involved with awards and contests.
The WIA seeks to complete its revitalisation of the committee restructure, and where identified, beef up the volunteer resources on them.
