22.01.2022 Congratulations to Erin Nugent, from YMCA Victoria who received a #ChangeOurGame Scholarship earlier this year and has completed a Certificate in Governance and Risk Management. Erin has worked for over 15 years in Sport and Recreation. Her role as Executive Assistant at YMCA Victoria supports the Chief Executive and leadership team in the delivery of key strategic priorities. I had no prior knowledge of corporate governance going into the course, only what I had learnt on-...the-job through my current position, she said. Undertaking the certificate has given me a broader understanding of how my organisation as a not-for-profit complies with regulations, and I feel more confident now performing my role. #ChangeOurGame #WomenInSport #WomenInRecreation #Leadership

09.01.2022 Exciting news yesterday that Raelene Castle has been appointed the next CEO of Sport NZ starting in December. Raelene is one of Australasia’s leading sports administrators, having most recently held the positions of CEO at Rugby Australia and the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. Prior to this she was CEO of Netball New Zealand from 2007 to 2013. I am deeply passionate about diversity and inclusion. It will be a key focus for me to ensure that young people from many diverse ba...ckgrounds have the opportunities to dream big and realise their potential, whether that’s as a leader, administrator, coach, volunteer or participant within our sector, she said. We can’t wait to see the positive impact you’ll have on women and girls in sport in NZ! #GameChanger #Leadership #Equality #WomenInLeadership #ChangeOurGame
07.01.2022 The Miami Marlins have appointed Kim Ng to be their next General Manager, making her the first woman and first East Asian American to hold the position in Major League Baseball history. After decades of determination, it is the honour of my career to lead the Miami Marlins, she said. When I got into this business, it seemed unlikely a woman would lead a major league team, but I am dogged in the pursuit of my goals. ...

04.01.2022 Entering a profession that's been dominated by the opposite gender for decades can be challenging and unnerving at first. Having to go above and beyond to prove you're capable of doing the job is an unfortunate reality for many people, even in 2020. ICYMI: Check out last Saturday’s episode of ‘Sporty’ on ABC Radio National featuring Bridie O'Donnell, Alison Mitchell and Lauren Arnell to hear how these three ground-breaking commentators have found their voice in what has tradi...tionally been a man's world.

03.01.2022 The Great Coaches podcast recently interviewed Carrie Graf, former professional basketball player, coach and is presently the Director of Sport at University of Canberra. This episode really highlights Carrie’s passion and belief that ‘girls are capable of anything,’ something she wished she was told when she was a kid. Having girls believe they can be the Prime Minister, the President, could be a brain surgeon, nuclear physicist, an Olympic athlete, an Olympic coach, a foo...tball champion, whatever it is, girls are capable of doing anything just as are women, she said.
