President’s Report – March 2021

In the month of February I attended the AMBA Plenary meeting. This is a way for AMBA to engage with the member clubs and get feedback about what is working and what is not. It is a chance for all clubs to share ideas as well as the opportunity for discussion.

The Board focus for 2021 is the following:
• MyAMBA rollout and training
• Regular communication with clubs
• Social Media calendar and content
• Committee handbook including Code of Ethics and Policy update
• Club structure
• Advocacy
• Resource development (awareness days etc)

Thank you to everyone who came out to Myuna Farm to kick off Multiple Birth Awareness Week. It was a fun day for the entire family to enjoy. Photos of the day are here in the newsletter.

Bec has resigned from the committee as she returns to full-time work. She has been such a wonderful committee member who has dedicated so much time to her roles, especially the Support Coordinator position.

Bec has been such an important point of contact for many members through the distribution of care packs, our New Parent High Teas, and even home visits in some cases. Bec has also been responsible for a few important grants within our club that have been so beneficial to our members. CDMBA is so grateful for all of this. We thank Bec for her time and we wish her all the best in her future endeavours.

Sincerely,
Candice
CDMBA President
