International Women’s Day 2022
SLS Sydney celebrates International Women’s Day 2022, and acknowledges the commitment of so many women to Surf Lifesaving across our Branch.
For the last 41 years we have had Women as part of our Patrols, but prior to then, many women had major impacts across many areas of our Surf Clubs from the very early days .
Today half our membership is made up of Women across all our areas, and we are an amazing organisation with them, from Nippers to lifesavers, competitors, management, and of course Life Members.
The strength, determination, leadership and commitment shown by the women in Surf Lifesaving is an inspiration to us all.
William White appointed Club Development Officer SLSS
Surf Life Saving Sydney would like to welcome William White, to the position of SLS Sydney Club Development Officer
Will has had a busy first week of induction and meeting the teams, and it’s been great to have him come on board.
Will comes to us after 3 years of competitions management at Cricket NSW, 2 years as the Executive Officer with his association, and 8 years in legal litigation.
Will has been an active volunteer for 12 years within cricket, where he is currently Vice President of his Club, captain of his cricket team for 8 years and girls development officer for his association.
He has developed skills in leadership, policies, procedures and the like, creating various playing conditions/rules, policies including inclusion, social media, code of conduct and child safety.
His passion is obviously cricket, however, his greatest passion is assisting volunteers, as he sees, hears and experiences the ins and outs of the incredible work they do.
Will comes to us with a drive to assist the Branch, Clubs and our members embrace the values of SLSS, and bring growth, development, leadership and assistance to the wider SLS community.
Welcome Will, to the SLS Sydney team.
