Meet your Board member.
This is the seventh in a weekly series where we introduce you to the people entrusted to run our sport in NSW.
Name: Louise Brooks (SHOO). Joined the Board: 2021
Louise is our newest director, from the Southern Highlands club.
Her initial tasks are liaising with Outdoors NSW & ACT, with whom ONSW is affiliated and who advocate to government on behalf of many outdoor activity providers, and with National Parks.
Louise first started orienteering during the 2012-2013 Sydney Summer series on the Majors Bay map. She has steadily increased her skills and rates the highlight of her orienteering as this year’s State League weekend in the sand dunes at Broulee on the NSW south coast where she says she finally felt some confidence in the bush.
Louise has volunteered at various events, starting with an ONSW promotional event at Hornsby Heights.
She is also a member of Woodstock Runners, a community running club in Sydney’s inner west, is a Level 1 running coach and co-ordinates the coaching roster there.
As a Registered Nurse for more than 30 years, Louise brings a whole range of skills and experiences to the Board.
She joined the Board to learn more about how things work in orienteering.
Away from maps and navigation, she loves all sport and supports Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League.
