In its centenary year, NECA has announced its new office bearers for the coming year, following the conclusion of its annual elections:

• National president:  Alan Brown (NSW)
• National vice president: Greg Hodby (SA)
• National treasurer: Jim Heerey (TAS).

Alan Brown is the group executive director of Fredon Industries and serves as the vice president of the NECA NSW chapter. Greg Hodby is the chief executive of Oliver J Nilsen Australia and also serves as vice president of NECA’s SA chapter.  Jim Heerey, managing director of Heerey Electrical continues in the role of national treasurer.

Dave McInnes will step down as president – but remain on the national executive as the QLD delegate, having served as president for almost two years. Mike Green leaves the national executive after many years as a national councillor from WA. Mike served as NECA’s vice president since 2012. John Cutler (VIC) also leaves the National Executive and we thank him for almost two years of service

NECA would like to take this opportunity to thank outgoing office bearers Dave McInnes and Mike Green for their contribution over the past two years as president and vice president respectively.

NECA also looks forward to welcoming two new Executive Committee members, Alan Charlton as the WA delegate and Mike Purnell as the VIC delegate, along with the new National Executive over the coming year.
