Appointed Board Member Roles

With the changing and challenging landscape of community sport, the Committee has been looking into ways where we can best future proof our club and give our members and community the best experience possible. A major part of this way forward is to put in place a new governance structure which would see a new Board formed to oversee all aspects of the club while individual sports would have their own sub-committees. The Committee believe that this type of structure will benefit our multi sport model by strengthening the skillsets on our board while also enabling more volunteers to engage in the sport they are most passionate about.

This is an important change to how the Club will be governed but one we think will serve us well into the future. If you have any questions or would like to know more then please go to our website or talk to a committee member.

Kind regards

Parklands United Sports Club committee
