Competition Manager
Position: Retired from business activities 6 years ago. Been involved with target pistol shooting since 1969 and , since 1976, administration at State and National levels. Currently Executive Officer of the Victorian Amateur Pistol Association.
Role: Organising the shooting program and associated activities as Tournament Director (Competition Manager).
Previous Major Events Officiating: Manager and coaching roles at various International events in and out of Australia including two Olympic Games.
Experiences/Expectations of Deaf Awareness Training: Thoroughly enjoyed training provided even though the Auslan sessions were a bit limited. I think the efforts of volunteers with respect to Auslan will, hopefully, indicaate to our visitors that we are doing all to provide a courteous and friendly atmosphere.
Enthusiasm officiating in Deaflympics / Previous Experience with Deaf sports: No previous experience but have enjoyed my involvement to date and am looking forward to the competition phase.
