Northam's Avon Descent Association is a not-for-profit events organisation built on volunteering, family and local community. We operate one of WA’s most iconic events, the Avon Descent, now entering its 48th year and are focused in the Swan and Avon rivers and local shires of Northam, Toodyay, Swan, Belmont, Bayswater and Armadale.

The secretary is an important administrative role and will work closely with the Executive officer and Board of Directors to help coordinate board meetings throughout the year, prepare agendas, take meeting minutes and arrange upcoming meeting schedules.

You will be a very important connection within the organisation, helping to keep communications strong, members informed and keep processes moving freely.
