We are very fortunate at SRA to have some experienced, talented and supportive members who are sincere in their desire to improve and expand Shadow Riders Australia.

This month we have created and are filling postions that will underpin our efforts to provide a more active and rewarding membership for everyone belonging to our group.

The following is a list of our administrative staff (to date) and the roles that they hold within SRA. Positions will be offered for re-nomination at the end of Ferbruary each year. Please keep in mind that these positions are held by volunteers who donate their time and energy freely and (like all members) deserve no less than to be treated with respect.

Over the weeks and months ahead you will become more familiar with our staff and the roles they hold but for now please read below a brief summary of each.
