From the Executive ....................

Farewell to Anne and Brian
Roger Lembit

The August Annual General Meeting of State Council saw the retirement of Anne Reeves and Brian Everingham from the NPA Executive. Both Anne and Brian have made very significant contributions to the work of NPA.


Anne Reeves

Anne has been a very active member of the conservation movement in South Australia and New South Wales. She has left her mark on several organisations including the Australian Conservation Foundation, the Nature Conservation Council of NSW and, of course, NPA. She served as President of NPA and is known for her coverage of a wide range of issues, her intensity in pursuing conservation outcomes and her boundless energy. As President of NPA Anne established a high level of contact with a range of Government agencies, being prominent in water reform and NPA’s push for conservation outcomes in western New South Wales.
Brian made a significant contribution as past convenor of the Reserves Committee and recently as State Council secretary. He continues to be an active member of the Southern Sydney Branch. Brian is known for his bushwalks, his early morning birdwatching forays and his prompt production of State Council minutes, often before delegates returned home from meetings. Brian is looking forward to a busy time having been awarded one of five of Premier Bob Carr’s American History Scholarships.


Brian Everingham

I have benefited greatly from advice from both Anne & Brian. NPA has been much enriched by their contribution. Their shoes will be very hard to fill. I’m sure I speak for all members in wishing them well in their future endeavours.

Roger Lembit
President
