CCLS – Thank You and Welcome!
Published in NZ Optics May 8th 2023
After a significant time with the CCLS Council, Roberta Mcllraith leaves the council as immediate past president. The entire CCLS Council has been appreciative of all of Roberta’s efforts to carry CCLS successfully through the Covid-years. Eleisha Dudson also finished her term as president on a high with the 2023 conference, having brought the fun back to in-person conferences. She now becomes the immediate past president and will focus on the integration of the New Zealand Myopia Action Group into CCLS and building our members' myopia management resources, while I have the honour of taking on the role of president.
Having made an enduring impact on CCLS over the last 20-plus years, including the last 10 years as treasurer, Richard Newson has also stood down from the council. His organisation, enthusiasm and humour are going to be missed! But I’m delighted to welcome optometrist Martina Fellmann from Canon Street Optometrists who’s agreed to take on the treasurer role.
