On Friday 18 November 2022 we held a special member only event to celebrate and launch the future of this organisation. We have seen great change in the needs of writers as artists. Our region and our writers are not static. In representing ourselves anew we turn toward language that reflects our liberated vision for the next quarter-century. Section 13.1B of the MARION ( ACT Writers Centre) Constitution stipulates that all nominations must be received 14 days before the Annual General Meeting. We encourage anyone interested to apply for a position on the Board, particularly if you have experiencein financial management, fundraising and philanthropy. I now find the old board far, far less aggressive than the new ...and even though I am staunchly anti-Brexit and not a Tory supporter and Mozzer can confirm that, I feel uncomfortable with the new board’s aggression. The owners and administrators of SCSM make no claims that information dispersed through messageboards or other means is accurate or reliable. In addition, the owners and administrators of SCSM cannot be held liable for any statements made by users of SCSM. Users are responsible and liable for all activities while participating on SCSM.

The Audit, Nominations, Remuneration, Disclosure and ESG committees have written terms of reference that define their role, responsibilities and membership. Marion leads the organisation across all business areas, working with a wide range of professionals from the public, voluntary and private sectors with partnership programmes across the UK and beyond. She has over 30 years’ experience of working within Community Learning and Development and Education.The new board is indeed a success and probably very few people will want to stay just on or return to the old board but as scb states I too still don’t understand what some posters there stand to gain from wanting this place closed down, it will make no difference to them or the new board, we are just enjoying our own company and once Boardhost folds so will we from posting.

Ms Mutton said “It’s an honour to take the helm following the tenure of MARION’s former CEO Meg Wilson who has been such a positive force for elevating our sector. I feel privileged to continue this work, supporting opportunities for our region’s writers and nurturing a landscape in which creative experimentation can thrive and new and exciting partnerships can develop.” As to this board. I posted very early on that it’s to fussy, avatars, newbie, stars by the name, all pointless and take up to much space. Through a compulsory vote, Australians will decide on whether to change the constitution to establish an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament.

Re: Why did we go out with a defensive formation against the bottom team - Bryn 25/10/2023, 12:13 am Re: Why did we go out with a defensive formation against the bottom team - Cass 24/10/2023, 11:45 pm I am highly supportive of Marion/ in the organisation’s efforts to better focus its support for local writers. This is a critical organisation for the support, coordination, collaboration, promotion and advancement of authors and poets in the Canberra region. I am encouraged by the plan developed by the executive and board to professionalise its services, with a greater emphasis on taking writers who have begun to establish themselves to the next level. I support the name change to Marion to better reflect this change in emphasis.” - CHRIS HAMMER That's the message that faith and rights leaders sent in a Monday letter to U.S. President Joe Biden and members of Congress ahead of the anniversary of Bloody Sunday—when white police officers violently assaulted civil rights advocates, including future Congressman John Lewis (D-Ga.), as they marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama on March 7, 1965. Let us be clear: To honor the memory of Bloody Sunday is to work for the full restoration of the Voting Rights Act, the passage of the original For the People Act that John Lewis helped to write, not the bill that was watered down by Joe Manchin," the letter continues, calling out the pro-filibuster West Virginia Democrat infamous for thwarting his own party's agenda.
