Current Squad Members

We’re not just good at filing, we also employ a wide variety of people from the community.

Since the beginning, the Squad has employed committed casual contractors to get the work done. They have included musicians, artists, athletes, students, professionals, and parents who want work while their children are at school. We have one staff member who is doing her Masters of Philosophy and another has just completed his Computer Science degree. Others have discovered the pleasures of record-keeping and taken up formal study then moved into the government sector.
