New Committee ready to lead CAHRS to even greener pastures

Recently Canning Agricultural, Horticultural & Recreational Society aka CAHRS held its AGM, with the attendance the best we’ve experienced for many years, indicating the increasing interest and strength of our not-for-profit organisation, and resonance of our mission within the community. Another positive sign was the voting in of two of our youngest CAHRS Committee Of Management members; Congratulations to Claire Porter and Afra Yusya for making it onto the Committee!

Geoff Moor and Len Robinson were also re-elected, continuing their roles to further enrich the community. President Maxine Wylie and Vice President Ray Porter retained their positions for another term, ready to lead the organisation to greater heights, including, literally, our grand building redevelopment now in progress!

Thanks to Colleen Edmeades and Lesley Wai for their great service to the Committee and CAHRS. They were both actively involved in decision-making processes, and hard work on the ground volunteering time and energy to assist deliver events to the community. Their commitment and dedication was valued and appreciated.

National Volunteer Week is coming up, a great celebration of people like these – thank you! Also, great to again see so many females and different cultural backgrounds represented on the Committee, reflective of our commitment to celebrating diversity.

CAHRS President Maxine Wylie commented. “The AGM is an opportunity to robustly reflect on the previous year, ensuring we continue to carry out business with integrity, responsiveness and positive actions to meet our objectives for the good of the community and CAHRS members.

“It was a time to publicly thank each of the Committee of Management team members for quality input to secure establishing confidence and connectedness in a community that far outreaches the local area. Thanks was also extended to CAHRS employees for their ongoing resilience to achieve the best possible outcomes for stakeholders, policy formations, hall hirers, communications, marketing, auditors, tradies, service/creditor payments, development, and events.”
