ANF: Nominations For Position of Director

Nominations are now called for the position of Director in Western Australia, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory for a term of 2 years.

Nominations shall be closed by COB 13 October 2008.

There has been a lot of criticism this year about the ANF. The Bill Express debacle, The McAskill 'resignation' and percieved inaction and irrelevance have lead to dropping membership numbers and much anger and complaining.

Here is now the chance for all the people that have been vocal to step up and make a difference. The ANF can only be as good as its members. Nominate yourself and put your proposals up to the Newsagents in your state and let everyone decide what new vision (if any) they want in their federal representation.

Do not let apathy or resignation keep things in their current state. As long as people only sling comments from the sidelines Newsagents nationally will lack the representation and strength we deserve, and suffer for it. Newsagents will need unity and strong bargaining powers to face increasing challenges in the future with changes in the traditional distribution of media.

Once nominations are finalised, votes will need to be cast before the ANF AGM on Friday, November 28, 2008.
