Yesterday’s well attended Annual General Meeting held at Yackandandah Community Centre, saw members return the leadership of the previous year with one additional new face joining the Committee.
Elected officials to serve in the forthcoming year are:
- President – Scott Landells
- Vice-President – Greg Clydesdale
- Secretary – Bernie Jovaras
- Treasurer – Greg Bourke
- General – Tiff Ellis, Ian Redfern, Nigel Jones, Phil Fraser.
It will be Landells 12th year on the Committee, having served the last 10 as President. Greg Clydesdale has served the past 10 years in a variety of roles, more recently as Vice President. Bernie Jovaras has been a committee stalwart since Indigo FM’s inception in 2010, with the occasional intermittent break. Greg Bourke heads into his second year as Treasurer.
Ian Redfern is a new face to our Committee. He has been a very keen listener since 2020 via the traditional FM radio option, and the Committee looks forward to Ian’s thoughtful input.
Tiff Ellis, Phil Fraser and Nigel Jones have been familiar Committee faces for the past few years, bringing valuable community insights, music knowledge and general perspectives.
“I am humbled to again be voted in as President”, Landells said.
“Our stability in leadership is a feature and has been important across the past handful of years, however, we do recognise that Indigo FM has to plan for a future where new leaders are identified to take our organisation forward”.
“We are indebted to our amazing band of volunteer announcers who continue to creatively explore their interests. In addition to a wide range of music themed shows, we actively have shows presented by garden clubs, book groups, schools and women’s shed groups. And we promote community events”.
“Our committee members are involved in a range of community, business, environmental and arts groups from right across the Shire, which is a valuable foundation for planning”.
“We did speak at length at our AGM about some of the opportunities and challenges going forward , which we expect to further explore in 2025”, Landells said.
