As

Coordinator
of
the
Mallacoota
Arts
Council/Annual
Easter
Festival
with
an
on
going
yearly
arts
program
and
a
festival
that
has
up
to
100
events
over
5
to
10
days
involving
the
creation
and
management
of
a
production
schedule
coordinating
logistical
management,
technical
staff,
event
coordination
and
OH&S,
shows
a
high
degree
of
team,
organizational
and
time
management
skills
The
establishment
of
the
Mallacoota
Telecentre
and
the
development
and
maintenance
of
a
loyal
dedicated
group
of
approximately
a
dozen
volunteers
and
part-time
staff
over
three
years
demonstrates
a
high
level
of
these
skills.
The
establishment
of
a
Point
of
Presence
for
Mallacoota
took
over
four
years,
negotiating
with
the
Federal,
State
and
Local
Governments
Departments
and
NGO’s;
telecommunication
carriers
and
ISP’s;
local
groups
and
individuals.
I
have
written
over
twelve
submissions
and
letters
beyond
count.
The
POP
came
on
line
officially
on
April
1
1999.
My
position
as
Props
master
at
the
Victorian
Arts
Centre
-
facilitating
the
production
of
some
30
productions
a
year,
dealing
with
performers,
production
personnel
and
creative
teams
at
all
levels
of
ability
and
from
many
nations
demonstrates
my
abilities
in
these
areas.
Working
with
a
diverse
client
base,
communication,
negotiation
and
motivation
skills
The
establishment
of
the
Mallacoota
Telecentre
and
the
development
and
maintenance
of
a
loyal
dedicated
group
of
approximately
a
dozen
volunteers
and
part-time
staff
over
three
years
demonstrated
my
ability
to
motivate
people.
Three
of
the
volunteers
subsequently
became
paid
staff
and
have
gone
on
to
employment
or
self-employment
in
the
computer
related
field.
Clients
of
the
Telecentre
range
from
community
groups,
small
business,
service
organizations
and
individuals
who
have
many
different
requirements,
preoccupations,
financial
and
time
resources
and
entry
skill
levels
demonstrates
skill
in
these
areas
My
long-term
position
as
Mallacoota
Festival
Technical
Coordinator
(14
Years)
developing
and
maintaining
a
staff
of
over
twenty
volunteers
(who
range
from
no
experience
to
highly
skilled)
and
paid
staff
over
the
past
five
years
demonstrates
my
ability
to
motivate
people.
Two
of
the
volunteers
who
previously
had
no
experience
in
the
theatre
arts
subsequently
became
paid
staff
of
the
festival
and
have
gone
on
to
employment
or
self-employment
in
the
theatre-technical
field
As
Technical
Coordinator
of
various
festivals
I
have
to
meet
the
needs
of
a
diverse
basket
of
clients,
these
range
from:
fully
professional
performers,
through
to
craft
based
community
groups,
amateur
performers,
environmental
groups,
sponsors
and
funding
bodies
all
with
different
requirements
and
wildly
different
entry
skills
and
experience.
The
Demonstration
of
professionalism,
Integrity
and
Confidentiality.
Working
in
a
Telecentre
environment
involves
the
creation
of
highly
personal
documents
and
access
to
client’s
highly
confidential
business
information
needs
a
fully
developed
sensitivity
to
issues
of
confidentiality
and
professional
integrity.
The
management
of
an
arts
council
often
requires
a
high
level
of
confidentiality
in
the
internal
management
of
the
organization.
In
the
highly
charged
environment
of
the
theatre
profession
one
needs
to
develop
a
powerful
instinct
for
confidentiality
and
sensitivity
to
the
dangers
of
gossip.
Establishing
networks
within
the
community
As
the
primary
organizer
of
the
logistical
and
technical
requirements
for
public
events
within
this
community,
as
well
as
private
events
like
wedding,
I
have
created
networks
right
through
the
community
of
individuals
and
organizations
that
can
cooperate
in
providing
skills
and
services
within
Mallacoota
and
District.
As
a
professional
festival
organizer
I
must
enter
a
community
and
quickly
seek
out
and
contact
or
create
networks
of
skill
and
interest
groups
to
motivate
and
coordinate
to
produce
a
successful
event.

many

became

acclaimed

the
auspices
of

Federal,
State

Local
Government

initiatives)
demonstrates
my
skills
in
this
area.
The
Writing
and
subsequent
performance
of
some
twelve
scripts,
the
writing
and
publishing
of
short
stories
and
articles
in
various
publication
and
the
teaching
of
creative
writing
for
various
organizations
demonstrates
my
expertise
in
the
creative
writing
field.
My
employment
by
various
performance
and
community
visual
arts
programs
as
an
artist
and
teacher
demonstrates
my
ability
in
the
field.
