Ian Morrow has been elected unopposed for a second two-year term as Unit Commander of Marine Rescue Central Coast.
At the recent AGM, Deputy Unit Commander Andrew McKellar was returned for a second two-year term unopposed and Ian Radford will share responsibilities as Deputy Unit Commander Administration.
Morrow praised the team that operates “behind the scenes”.
“As my first term as unit commander comes to an end, I would ask you to indulge me as I think back over that time and acknowledge the hard work of all the ‘back room’ people who put in an extraordinary amount of their own time, mostly over and above their normal duties.
“I am forever grateful for these people and the way they go about their duties, mostly without any instructions from anyone because they have a professional approach and instinctively know what is required.
“These people are the lubricant that keeps the operation of the unit seamless and minimises disruption.”
Ian Leafe has stepped down from the administration roll, which has now been handed to Chris Hartcher, with Lisa Pollard taking on membership.
Treasurer Shea Wicks, IT Pete Alderton and Grants Officer Paul Brierley retained their positions on the Executive Committee, while Bob Gilbody has stepped up to the task of Training Officer.
