Farewell and thank you Graham
|
Dear colleagues 
It is with much regret that I advise that CDAA’s Executive Officer Graham Pratt will be leaving CDAA on October 9.
Graham has made an enormous contribution to the growth of the Association over the past 3+ years, particularly in the areas of governance, communications and financial management, and has provided invaluable support to the National Board and Divisions
Graham will be progressing his career with the Australian Veterinary Association and leaves CDAA as a friend of many of us. On behalf of the CDAA community, I thank him most sincerely for the contribution he has made to our Association and wish him every success and happiness for the future.
The Board is currently undertaking a review of national office operations and interim staffing arrangements will be in put in place pending the outcome of that review. It is likely that a re-structured national office will result with additional staff recruited. The financial growth of the Association over recent years has made this investment possible.
Carole Brown
National President
