Council Nominations
We are always looking for quality Councillors to assist in the running and governance of AFFHO. We normally declare all Council positions vacant at the AGM each year, usually in May. Prospective Councillors need to be nominated by an appropriate State Society or umbrella association. The prescribed form must be completed and forwarded to the Secretary by the due date.
