The Athlete Leadership Group forms a vital link between athletes and Canoe Slalom NZ.

We:

-> Represent athletes from clubs, academies & performance pathways

-> Gather feedback through surveys, forums, and safe channels

-> Advocate for athlete needs to CSNZ management and board

-> Shape decisions on programs, policies and athlete experiences

-> Support fellow paddlers as a role model and mentor

-> Report annually to the board on key athlete perspectives

-> Provide a place for athletes and parents alike to communicate and ask questions regarding CSNZ

This gives us an opportunity to:

• Influence real change in our sport

• Develop leadership skills

• Connect with paddlers nationwide

• Ensure all voices are heard
