Hi Everyone,
Hope I find you all well. In the absence of an AGM, I just want to provide you with a quick update on our current BLTC Committee and roles. This was an unusual year and we decided not to have an AGM until such time as we can all get into a room together again. Usually, we elect Club officers on the night but, with no AGM possible and a few urgent positions open on the Committee, we decided to use the mandate given to us and CO-OPT new Committee Members for the rest of this year. Freda, Ann, Patricia, and Martin have stepped down and I would like to thank them for all of their support and contributions over the last two years.
I'm delighted to introduce the new members to our committee for 2021.
Ed O'Sullivan is a Revenue Officer by trade and will be taking on the role of Treasurer, As you can imagine, finance management & governance go hand in hand with Ed’s skillsets and we are delighted to place the club's financial oversight in such good hands. Ed is also a qualified Barrister.
Niamh Hennessy is our new Club PRO. Niamh has worked in the media & public relations area for a long time and will be a huge asset to the Club as we grow and develop. Niamh has also agreed to help out with the writing of a booklet on the history of the club so she may be calling on a few of our more senior members when the COVID situation allows it.
Declan Forde has accepted my request to support me as Club Vice-chairperson. Declan brings substantial business, systems, and organizational experience to the table after spending many years in a variety of leadership roles for a global Corporation. Declan and his wife Shivaun have also contributed significantly to the Club over the last 15 months chairing our Covid Compliance Sub-Committee activities and Shivaun will continue to act as our Covid Compliance Officer for the rest of 2021
Marianne quill has agreed to take on the role of Vice-Captain, a role that Freda used to hold, and will be supporting Dawn Caldwell. Marianne is a solicitor by trade and has been a great asset to the club with legal advice over the last three years.
