RDANSW seems to be imploding itself.

If you are not then I suggest you organise your committee and centre and resign - keeping in mind that the assets of your Centre will remain with RDA(NSW). If you wish to stay part of this organisation then I suggest you tune into some positive energy, stop your destructive criticism and power games, accept the decisions made by the Centres voting and get on with it. ‘ </span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;">Kerry Johnston</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;">Life Member RDANSW</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;">Life Member Ballina and District RDA Centre</span></p><div><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><br></span></div></span></div><br></div><div><br></div><div class="ydp2f13c178signature">Kerry Johnston</div></div>
