Resource Spotlight | Sideline Behaviour - The Committee Member |
|
SportWest have partnered with Club Respect to provide resources to help sports clubs build and maintain respectful club environments. These resources seek to educate, empower, and positively influence the individuals involved in clubs. This week, True Sport is highlighting 'The Committee Member' club specific resource.
As a committee member, you play a vital role in shaping and guiding the club’s culture.
For a club to become a place known for respect, safety, enjoyment, fairness, and achievement, it’s essential that committees understand and apply good governance principles and practices.
Committee members are not just filling positions; they are crucial to the club’s success and longevity. Their active involvement helps ensure that the club remains a thriving, welcoming, and supportive environment for everyone involved.
