Volunteers -
‘Thanks’ Campaign
What is the 'Thanks'
Campaign?
Volunteers give their time, effort and quite often contribute
financially to be of assistance to their organisation. We
believe that recognition of volunteers is an important part
of the sport and recreation industry and have developed a
‘Thanks’ program that includes:
Thanks Recognition Program for Coaches & Officials
Nominations have closed for the 2008 Coach & Official Recognition Program.
'Thanks Coach, Thanks
Official' breakfasts
These breakfasts provide:
- An excellent opportunity for sports to recognise
their hardworking coaches and officials
- An opportunity to network with people of
similar interests, whilst enjoying presentations from quality
sport and recreation speakers:
