EFA is pleased to announce the appointment of Irene Graham to the role
of Executive Director.

As many of you would know, Irene has been an EFA Board Member and
Secretary and has also carried out the roles of Membership
Co-ordinator and Administration Officer, having joined EFA in 1995.

As with all EFA Board positions, Irene's roles have been undertaken on
a voluntary, spare-time basis. The ED role is a paid position in which
Irene will work four days per week.  Obviously in this role she will
be able to bring significant resources to bear on matters of concern
to EFA.

Irene has established a reputation for quality research and
investigation in the area of censorship, both online and offline.  Her
personal website devoted to censorship is widely acknowledged as the
main reference site on this topic in Australia.  The board considers
that Irene's research skills, combined with her equally impressive
administrative abilities, ideally suit her for the role of Executive
Director.  For further background information about Irene see:

You may recall that an appointment of Peter Upton as Executive
Director was announced in late March. Unfortunately, only a few weeks
after this announcement, Peter found that he would be unable to spend
the agreed time in carrying out the role, due to unforeseen personal
circumstances, and he reluctantly withdrew.

We hope you will join the board in welcoming Irene to this new
position and in sharing our view that EFA's interests will be strongly
advanced with the appointment.  Irene can be reached via the board
list at <board@efa.org.au> or directly to <igraham@efa.org.au>
