The winners were presented their plaques by the BJD Director Doug Hawkins and Sally Fielke General Manager Corporate Affairs Sydney Airport Corporation Limited.

These young lifesavers are outstanding members of their clubs and our Branch and they are already heavily involved with their clubs and making an impact with their focus and commitment said Doug Hawkins SLS Sydney Branch BJD Director.

The winners were selected by a panel representing the BJD and the BoL.  Each Finalist were interviewed by the Panel and also had the opportunity to present their ideas and thoughts that they believe would benefit SLS across the board.
