To achieve its objectives GULLG needs motivated members who are interested in being part of the committee. 

To assist in understanding more about the GULLG Committee and determining your interest in participation the following will help.

You will develop new skills (event management, bookkeeping, secretariat, grant      administration, grant application, marketing, people leadership, fundraising, web and social media skills.

You can help steer the direction of our Landcare group and help decide what we focus on.

You can contribute something long lasting and valuable to our local community.

You can learn an enormous amount about local native plants and animals, weed      management, land regeneration, sustainable farming, waterway management, the list is endless.

The minimum commitment is about an average of 1 hour per month across the year. However, this will increase based on how involved you want to be. We have five committee meetings a year and we spend time outside these meeting coordinating events and various projects for GULLG.

Nothing really, other than some enthusiasm and an openness to learning new things. Obviously, some of the committee roles require specific skills. However, these can all be learnt as you go, drawing on the knowledge and experience of existing committee members.

All roles become available every year and the committee is supportive of anyone interested in having a go at any of the roles. There are eight committee positions in total. Four are elected positions; President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, and four are general committee member positions. Within the committee, there are many opportunities regardless of role - these include planning working bees, overseeing promotions, the VGT community grant program, fundraising, grant applications, and manning the GULLG stall at the New Year's Sports Day and other events.
