The HGFA Committee <committee> writes:

At a recent HGFA committee meeting, the committee decided that the
role of Operations Manager needed to be refined and separated from the duties of
the Office Manager. The two roles are currently being assessed by the Management
Committee.

The role of Operations Manager will concentrate on operational issues and the
required policy development to support operations. The new role of
Administrative Manager will concentrate on administrative processes to improve
the systems required to make the HGFA more efficient. The Committee recently
completed a performance management appraisal on John Olliff and determined that
he did not meet the standards required by the HGFA. As a result John Olliff's
contract has been concluded. We thank John Olliff for his efforts in his time as
the Operations Manager and wish him well in his future endeavors.

John Twomey has absented himself from the Committee and his role as the
Treasurer and will be working as the Operations Manager until the new position
is reviewed, documented, advertised and filled.

John Twomey ably filled the role in a similar capacity in 2010 and the committee
has every confidence in him filling the role and continuing any commitments
undertaken by the HGFA Management Committee. John Twomey commenced as the
Operations Manager on the morning of the 3 April 2012.

We believe that these changes are in the best interests of the HGFA membership
and anticipate they will cause minimal disruption.
