Special Olympics Melbourne Eastern Ranges offers sporting activities to people with an intellectual disability. We are an established club which also has the support of our national office in Sydney.

This position is the ‘glue’ between everyone that participates in the running of the club. So the dissemination and distribution of information is one of the key activities both within the club, to SOA, SOV and all other third parties. It is great to note that this role of secretary does not involve minute taking as we have a Minute Secretary.

So how much time does this take? So whilst on a learning curve, it could be 3 to 4 hours per week, however, this varies depending on club activities and the time of year. Computer skills are a bit of a must nowadays, so a reasonable understanding of Microsoft Office goes a long way! The club will discuss computer requirements so that there are the appropriate tools to work with.
