Life membership was presented at the centre’s 2014 AGM in April.
This person first became involved with the running of Cross Country in 2004. He ran the committee streamlining many processes and making it significantly easier for those who followed. During his time as Chair the number of athletes running grew steadily. He handed over the running of CC to become more actively involved at Executive level.
This recipient set up and got our electronic timing working, a feat many before him had tried to do and failed. We have a system which works and is the envy of most Victorian Centres thanks to his expertise. He also developed the Event Manager system which has stream lined the running of our program and resulted in more athletes completing a greater number of events. Clubs and parents can keep abreast of which events their children are competing in via the app he designed.
This person took over the role of President at a time when the Centre required direction. His expertise in leadership and management resulted in many improvements being made to the grounds and processes.
