LOGISTICS OFFICERS?
Hello all,
There have been a number of discussions in relation to members who have logistics as a major apart of their employment. If you know of these members could you find out if they have formal training for this workplace role? If so please send in a copy of their certificate for recognition. If they already have CFA404 they maybe able to be recognised for CFA503 Logistics Officer; if not we will have an opportunity to identify these members and with GO approval offer, CFA404 training to enable recognition of CFA503.
If you know of members who have already had their qualification from their workplace for logistics recognised please let me know so I can check if they have CFA404. (The data isn’t easily obtained from Train due to the large number of recognised courses which exist across Registered Training Organisations.)
Thanks for your assistance with this.
Kind regards,
Susan Beatty

National Volunteer Week Morning Tea - Tuesday 11 May
Dear all,
We have had an invitation from Danielle Green to attend a morning tea to celebrate National Volunteer Week on Tuesday 11 May, 10.30 a.m. - 12 noon at the Arthurs Creek Hall.
The only catch is that we have been asked to do the catering for the morning tea!! Danielle's office thinks there may be between 30 and 40 people come along and as it is at the Hall it shouldn't be took difficult.
So - if you would like to come as a guest could you please let me know by Thursday so as I can respond on your behalf. If you would be available to help on the morning could you please let me know. We shouldn't need more than a few of us. Food-wise we are thinking of sandwiches, scones (jam and cream) and fruit scones. I can make sandwiches but would really like (or should I say need) help with the scones please.
As usual - thanks.
Gayle

Russell Rees resignation media statement and CFA Connect article
Hi all,
As most of you would have heard, Chief Officer Russell Rees today handed in his resignation. Attached is the official media statement.
A CFA Connect piece on Russell’s CFA career has also been provided below:
Four decades at CFA
Russell Rees has been involved with CFA for more than four decades.
He joined as a career officer in 1978 but prior to that was a volunteer firefighter at Moe and Belmont, and had been a junior member from the age of 11.
Russell has had a long and distinguished career in CFA working across a range of locations, including Melton, Ballarat, Ararat, Geelong, Seymour, Colac and Lilydale. For some time he was an instructor at CFA’s Training College at Fiskville and in his last two years there was the Officer in Charge of Operational Training.
After an organisational restructure of CFA in 1994, Russell was appointed the Area Manager for the Yarra Area, based in Lilydale. Russell was responsible for a range of organisational change initiatives, as well as leading his team during the 1997 Dandenong Ranges fires.
In 1998, Russell was appointed a Deputy Chief Officer at CFA headquarters, with responsibility for Policy and Standards.
In August 2001, he was appointed by the CFA Board to the position of Chief Officer, and has since been reappointed twice, in 2006 for three years and in 2009 for a further two.
Russell has played significant roles in CFA’s operational response during major campaigns such as the January - March 2003 North East and Gippsland fires, the December 2005 -January 2006 Grampians fires and December 2006 - February 2007 Great Divide fires.
Russell also has had significant involvement at state and national level, influencing the direction of emergency management in Australia. He has chaired the AIIMS Steering Committee of the Australasian Fire Authorities Council (AFAC) and sat on the Operations Strategy Group and Environmental Management Working Group at AFAC.
He has represented CFA across Victoria on a range of committees, including the Victorian Emergency Management Council Coordinating Group.
Russell is a recipient of the Centenary Medal awarded in 2003 and the Australian Fire Service Medal awarded in 2005.
Apologies if some of you may have already received this information.
