The Committee

 

Macquarie Dragons is only as successful as its committee. Being a member of the Committee is a rewarding and challenging experience.

​

  • Co‐ordinate the planning of activities in a manner which ensures the aims and objectives of the club are fulfilled.

  • Carry out the recommendations of members as expressed at the annual general meeting.

  • Provide members with detailed information regarding the running of the club.

  • Monitor the performance of the club officials (according to their job descriptions), to see they are carrying out their functions.

  • Ensure that all committee members are well‐versed in past activities and the reasons for previous decisions, making sure any deviations from these are fully considered.

  • Negotiate training opportunities for Administrators and Coaches, provide detailed written and oral records and job descriptions to a newly elected committee so they can settle into their duties quickly.

  • Planning and budgeting for the future.

  • Ensure that all members of the committee are role models in the area of leadership.

  • Ensure members abide by the Code of Conduct and ensure the club’s sustainable future through adopting a risk management approach that considers the health of the club and its members as a priority.
