AFF Veterans Commission - Expressions of Interest
The AFF is seeking to reactivate the AFF Veterans Commission.
Accordingly, we are seeking expressions of interest from members of the Australian veterans fencing community who would like to join the Commission.
The primary function of the Veterans Commission is to liaise with the AFF Board on matters of interest to veteran fencers and to undertake specific projects as approved by the Board from time to time.
The members of the Veterans Commission are appointed by the AFF Board. In making appointments, the Board will take into account the need to ensure that the Commission represents the diversity of the veterans community, taking into account factors such as age, gender, weapon and geographic location.
If you are interested in joining the Veterans Commission, please email Caitlin Taylor (AFF Operations Manager) at operations.fencing.org.au by no later than 28 February 2018. Please outline any relevant experience, your reasons for wanting to join the Commission and what you see as the key priorities for veterans fencing in Australia.
