Subject: RE: 2020 PDF Board Election
Importance: High
Hi Seta
Thanks for your email. I hope you are well and your family and friends are safe from the COVID-19 pandemic.
I can confirm that I am the nominated voting delegate for this year's PDF Board election for the Australian Federation of Disability Organisations. (AFDO)
However, I have had a difficult time in the last few months. I lost my hearing in February after being diagnosed with Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (See attached) and despite undergoing Cortisone treatment at the Eye and Ear Hospital I am now deaf.
It has been a very challenging time for me since then as I am relying on lip reading and videoconferencing using Skype or FaceTime where I can see the callers' faces. I just can't pick up the phone and make a call to anyone like I used to be able to do.
I am having Auslan sign language training sessions to help me while I wait to see if I am suitable candidate for a Cochlear implant.
I have missed many days off work and am still struggling to come to terms with the loss.
Also, with the Coronavirus pandemic and the Social Distancing restrictions here in Australia, I am only in the office on Monday and Wednesday for the time being.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Please note my new email address: ceo at dja.org.au<mailto:ceo at dja.org.au>
Cheers and best wishes.

Subject: [PDF-fullMembers] 2020 PDF Board Election
Importance: High
Greetings Full Members of the Pacific Disability Forum (PDF)
Warm Pacific greetings to each one of you. We have come to the time of the year when your organisation as a Full Member of PDF through your appointed/elected representative to the PDF General Forum (refer to Clause 8.3 of the PDF Constitution) will need to undertake your constitutional function of electing the Board Members of PDF (refer to Clause 10.2 of the PDF Constitution). Since this year, 2020 is a year ending with an even number, the election will be for the positions of Co-Chairperson (female) and three Board members in accordance with Clause 10.3 of the PDF Constitution. The PDF Board has adopted the Election of Board Policy and Procedure with key dates, election activities and scrutineer among others at their Board Meeting held on 01 February 2020.
In preparations for this year's PDF Board election, I invite the Full Members of PDF that are listed below to confirm by return email no later than 5:00pm Fiji time on Thursday, 30 April 2020 if your representative to the 2019 PDF General Forum held in Nadi, Fiji on 25 February 2019 will be your voting delegate for this year's Board election as well? I ask this question because some of you may have decided after the General Forum in Nadi, Fiji to appoint a different representative to the PDF General Forum, and it will be this representative that will be your voting delegate and involved in the election of the PDF Board in 2020. When each Full Member is confirming the name of your voting delegate, I also request if his/her email address, telephone and fax numbers can be included as well? I will then update your voting delegate on relevant information regarding the 2020 Board Election.
