EOI Board Committee Members - Paddle Australia

Legislation & Reform Project Manager - NSW Office of Sport

EOI BOARD COMMITTEE MEMBERS - PADDLE AUSTRALIA

Paddle Australia (PA) is the National Sporting Organisation (NSO) responsible for the management, coordination, development, and promotion of paddling in Australia. PA is recognised by the Federal Government and represents the interests of its members to government and the public. PA’s vision, contained in the Strategic Plan for Paddling in Australia, is for ‘A United Paddling Community’.

PA is committed to the provision of a high standard of competition, safety, and opportunity for paddling participation in Australia. This includes the development and delivery of the successful Canoe Slalom and Canoe Sprint Olympic and Paralympic programs and the six non-Olympic disciplines (Canoe Freestyle, Canoe Marathon, Canoe Ocean Racing, Canoe Polo, Wildwater Canoeing, and SUP), as well as recreational paddling. 

PA is recognised by the International Canoe Federation (ICF); Oceania Canoe Association (OCA); Australian Sports Commission (ASC) and Australian Institute of Sport (AIS); Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) and Paralympics Australia. As the peak body for paddle-related activity in Australia, PA works collaboratively with six (6) State Paddle Associations (SPAs),
around 125 active clubs, eight (8) disciplines and approximately 12,000 members, instructors, and coaches.

Operating in a commercial and inclusive manner with government, business, and community, PA ensures the value of competitive and recreational paddling is understood and supported in all policy and business decisions. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES & CRITERIA

As PA enters the next phase of our development, we are actively seeking Expressions of Interest from individuals to join us as members of our Board Committees. These committees play a vital role in advising and recommending actions to the PA Board. However, the existence of a Board Committee does not diminish the Directors’ responsibilities and duties related to the proper governance and management of PA.

Our objective is to identify new members to join our Board Committees who’s backgrounds and skills complement those of the existing members. Candidates with experience in sports governance and an understanding of the Australian sporting environment are preferred. If you're passionate about contributing to the governance and strategic growth of a significant
and successful National Sporting Organisation such as Paddle Australia, we encourage you to express your interest
