Farewell to Paul Prudhoe

Last Updated: Tuesday, 02 April 2019 12:09

Our executive officer Paul Prudhoe has stepped down after 16 years of dedication to Orienteering NSW.

Paul, a member of the Central Coast club, was first elected to the Board in 2003, then president from 2008-2014 and and took on the newly created role of Executive Officer in 2015 as we transitioned from a largely amateur oversight body to a vibrant, growing enterprise with five part-time employees.

He is a Level 3 controller, one of only three in the state, and an IOF Event Advisor, and has been in charge of major national and international events in Australia.

Paul was awarded the Presidents Award in 2015 for his tireless contribution to orienteering in NSW.

He will continue in his role as Orienteering Australia EO. We thank him for his years of service and wish him all the best.

At the ONSW AGM on Saturday at Hill End, Brian Cleland (Uringa) and Alice Martin (central Coast) stepped down from the board while Anna Fitzgerald (Goldseekers) has come on to the board. Welcome Anna; thank you Brian and Alice for your contributions.
