South Burnett CTC held its annual general meeting last week, an opportunity to look back on a year of change for the not-for-profit organisation.
Chair John Box acknowledged the service of Marc Reinbott, who has retired from the Board after serving 12 years; and Howard Leisemann who served as chair of the association for 24 years and also held roles as Treasurer and Public Officer.
Mr Leisemann, who was on the Board for 37 years, was recently appointed Patron to CTC, alongside Nina Temperton who was made Patron earlier this year.
Mr Box said new CEO Jason Erbacher had “hit the ground running”, building a structure and management team to lead CTC forward.
Highlights over the past 12 months included CTC taking over ownership of the South Burnett Enterprise Centre, the development of a new logo and branding for the organisation, upgrades to the IT system and the launch of the Nanango Neighbourhood Centre.
Mr Erbacher said it had been a period of a lot of growth and change.
He said the Annual Report included CTC’s new strategic plan which reaffirmed the organisation’s purpose, vision and values of empathy, integrity and collaboration.
The organisation currently has 264 employees.
Mr Erbacher said CTC had added about 20 more staff over the past 12 months (and there were still positions to fill) and taken on six new funded programs.
However, CTC was now looking at “taking a breath” and consolidating over the next year.
The AGM was also an opportunity to launch CTC’s new Service Guide which explains its services and programs.
“This new resource will ensure our services are more accessible and transparent,” Mr Erbacher said.
The 68-page Service Guide is available at all South Burnett CTC offices and can also be downloaded from the CTC website (17.7MB PDF).
