AWRA Seeking EOI for Mentoring Project
The Australian Womensport and Recreation Association Inc (AWRA) is calling for Expressions of Interest from individuals or companies to complete a mentoring project between November 2011 and June 2012.
AWRA Leadership Workshop OfferAustralian Womensport and Recreation Association (AWRA) and its state members, with support from the Australian Government, conducted a series of Women's Sport Leadership Workshops throughout Australia in 2009. The aim of the workshops was to assist women in furthering their leadership roles in sport and recreation whether at the local club, association or state and national level.
As an outcome and a sustainable legacy of that project, AWRA would like to offer this excellent workshop program to more organisations, such as local government associations, national sporting organisations, state sporting associations and women's agencies. In particular there is a recognised need to take such a program to rural and regional areas of Australia. AWRA would like to work collaboratively with other organisations to reach out further into less populated regions and/or to target some groups of women who may benefit from sports leadership training.
