2 THE BOARD The PLA Vic/Tas Board continues to develop and extend its range of offerings and services to its members, and indeed the entire sector, through the hard work, diligence and commitment of its Board and broader membership. Through the hard work and inspiration from our membership we are re-shaping our offering to meet the growing needs of a sector that has over time fragmented and lost its voice. Quite often I find myself in conversations navigating the complex set of organisations, partnerships and authorities in our sector. Consequently, a key task of the Vic/Tas Board is to build stronger professional networks to address this situation. The Vic/Tas Board has rolled out a number of key initiatives over the past 12 months that will set the tone for our future offerings. These include: - the delivery of our first State Conference that showcased the great work being done in our state - the delivery of our inaugural Leadership Program, with the second course now in progress, and - the continued delivery of a comprehensive set of professional development training opportunities. None of the above can be achieved without the work of the Board and I thank all Board members for their commitment and hard work. Paul Jane, President PLA Vic/Tas Region 2013 / 2014 BOARD MEMBERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer General Members Co-Opted Members Executive Officer Paul Jane Marg Scanlon James Collins Andrew Butterfield Jacquie Anderton Cathy Kiss Richard O Byrne Barb Gaiotto Ian Waugh Ben Bainbridge Jason Summers Bruce Fordham Darren Bennett Richard Simon Thank you, Ian and Barbra We thank Ian Waugh and and Barb Gaiotto, who are both retiring from the Vic/Tas Board after many years of service. Both members have given their time to the Board for a number of years and have filled many key roles. Their knowledge, advice and counsel will be missed. Ian held the positions of Treasurer, President and National Board Representative. Barb held the positions of Vice President, and more recently, Convener of the Membership Sub-Committee and she was the Vic/Tas Region representative on the 2014 National Conference Organising Committee.

3 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT The inaugural State Conference was a great success 95 delegates, 39 speakers, 31 LGA s, 4 peak agencies and 4 state sporting associations The inaugural Vic/Tas Region State Conference was held over two days on 30 April and 1 May 2014 at Simonds Stadium in Geelong. Brian Cook, CEO of Geelong Football Club and one of Australia s leading sports administrators (right), delivered the opening address of the Conference with a presentation on leadership and the value of partnerships. There were 32 concurrent sessions across the following six streams: Open Space, Regional Cities, Regional Councils, Metro Councils, Sport, and Growth Areas. Each session comprised of one to four speakers presenting about relevant sector issues or innovations, and most concluded with a forum during which delegates and panelists interacted and shared experiences and knowledge. An interactive workshop was also conducted for sector professionals associated with each stream. It is expected that the workshops will be the first of what will become regular network meetings for each respective stream to share ideas and tackle issues affecting their areas of interest.

4 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Sector On Show Taking a look at the latest Two offerings: 1. Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park, State Sports Centres Trust, September WaterMarc, Greensborough, Banyule City Council, February 2014 The WaterMarc and Banyule staff show participants around the Centre Leadership Program I gained insight about myself as a person and as a leader in the sector, as I now know that reflecting on ones leadership style and aspirations is a critical component of effective leadership. It was also a great networking opportunity with colleagues in similar stages of their careers. Program Sponsor [Ben McManus, Coordinator Leisure and Cultural Services, City of Banyule] The inaugural Leadership Program was conducted during the period July-September in The Program was facilitated by an expert organisational consultant, and consisted of three interrelated modules involving workshops, guest speakers, individual and group activities, and presentations. The final day of the program finished with a celebratory dinner and the presentation of certificates to the 13 participants. Big thanks to the three host Councils - Monash, Hume and Geelong. Participants presented the outcomes of their group projects at the 2013 PLA National Conference held in Melbourne in October The second Leadership Program was completed this week. Ben McManus is presented with his certificate by Laurence Robinson from Program sponsor, Brand Architects.

5 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Seminars Over 300 delegates attended 6 one day seminars offered during the past 12 months.
