She was the union's our second elected General Secretary - prior to elections which began in 1989, General Secretaries were permanent appointments. She was our second female General Secretary.

While Maurie is Acting General Secretary, Senior Vice-President Sue Walsh will be Acting President. And should Maurie be successful in July, Sue is expected to be elected President.
