Mr. Eugene Clonan:

The coastal unit sector managers are responsible for initial face-to-face management. Our annual conference takes place on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday and is attended by all area officers and particular issues are gone through. It also provides an opportunity for the volunteer area officers to meet the six elected representatives on the CUAG. We now have three such meetings per year in order to increase communication with our volunteers and be aware of how they are getting on, which is very important. We have 1,000 volunteers.
