VOLUNTEERS from the North Coast Region were honoured recently for their outstanding service to the community during SES Week. One of the original founding members of the Maleny State Emergency Service (SES), Pamyla O’Connor received the 40-year Meritorious Service Clasp at the awards ceremony.
Pamyla who joined in December 1982, has only recently retired, hanging up her SES shirt on August 31. Deputy Group Leader of Maleny SES, Jared Ashcroft said Pamyla was a highly decorated SES team member who had received numerous meritorious service medals and clasps for her outstanding contribution.
“Pamyla is an excellent senior operational instructor at the SES who brought her comprehensive knowledge in training to benefit both new and experienced team members,” he said.
“Pamyla is an exceptional SES team member who has brought immense value to our community.”
