Vicsport is very appreciative of the level of engagement members provide to Vicsport initiatives. It is motivating and satisfying to work with member organisations that are committed to developing their respective sports but also the industry as a whole. By many measures Victorian sport leads the way nationally and much of this is due to the talented and enthusiastic administrators in this state. The Vicsport Board has continued to function very effectively and the dedication of the Board members is acknowledged. Thanks go to: Richard Amon, Stephanie Beltrame, Stuart Craig, Ben Hartung, David Lamb, Emma Sherry, Andrew Walton and Warwick Waters. At the 2015 Vicsport AGM Andrew Walton was elected to the Board and Anne King, who did not re-stand for election after 4 years of service on the board, was farewelled. Anne is sincerely thanked for her contribution to Vicsport. 2015-16 was another significant year for Vicsport’s staff with a number of new programs and initiatives implemented. Once again work has been delivered to a very high standard and Vicsport’s indicators show that this work is of enormous benefit to the industry. Thanks to all the staff members who have contributed throughout 2015-16. Particular thanks to Kate Green, Nisha Wijesekera and Kathy Tessier who moved on to other opportunities during the year after significant contributions to Victorian sport over many years. Vicsport is excited by the future for Victorian sport and looks forward to working closely with all members and stakeholders to encourage and assist more Victorians to enjoy the benefits that sport can and does provide.
