Key Activities

1. Oversight of the State Women’s Masters Championships

3. Contribute to HQ strategic planning and policy
4. Continually build the Women’s Masters (WM) network state-wide through communication with Member Association’s WM Delegates
5. Promote WM opportunities, activities and successes through all available avenues including maintaining the WM Website and Facebook and contributions to HQ newsletter, The Dribble.

The committee is made up of a chair and members who are each responsible for one or more a portfolio. Recruitment and selection to the committee by HQ is through expressions of interest which detail skills and experience. Typical expressions of interest might cover achievements and experiences in areas such as leadership, administrative ability, interpersonal skills, communication, event organisation, computer literacy, especially Microsoft Word and Excel.

Regional representation is given some consideration, though it is not a first order imperative. It is a skill based, “fit for purpose” management and operating committee. Knowing seven (7) ways to defend a penalty corner or being able to unerringly tomahawk into the top corner of the goal box are not core competencies for this committee. Appointments are for either one or two years.

Expectations And Time Commitment

The time commitment and work load for committee members varies from significant to substantial. A few portfolio areas require several hours work for the majority of weeks each year. Some of the portfolios require point in time contribution, while other portfolios require short bursts of intense activity. Details of the 2024 committee members and their areas of responsibility are given below.
