Build relationships across the sport – work with members, volunteers, clubs, associations, businesses and the broader bowls community.

Have real influence – bring your ideas, energy and initiative to a role where your contribution can have a visible and lasting impact.

Develop and implement membership campaigns and advertising opportunities.

Promote bowls to new audiences, including schools, community groups, businesses and corporate organisations.

Build and maintain strong relationships with Club members, volunteers, visiting players, bowling clubs, regional bodies and state associations.

Provide regular reports and updates to the Committee, members, selectors and coaches, as well as through Club communication channels.

Communicate match and tournament results to relevant regional and state organisations.

Liaise with Club staff and contractors to ensure bowls requirements are effectively communicated and delivered, including catering, green preparation, staffing and rostering.

Ensure bowls equipment, playing areas and facilities are maintained and ready for use.

Represent Bargo Sports Club and the Bargo Bushrangers professionally and actively contribute to the ongoing growth and success of the Club’s bowls department.
