Join a Canoe Wales Sub-committee - apply by 23 July

Canoe Wales • Jul 12, 2021

Do you have an interest in sport, strategic planning and management skills, and the desire to put these to good use by volunteering to help lead the national governing body for paddlesport in Wales? 

Canoe Wales is pleased to be opening up a number of positions on various sub-committees to knowledgeable, experienced and motivated people who would like to support us in what we do.


The Canoe Wales Sub-committees cover the full spectrum of Canoe Wales’ activity and include:


  • Development and Participation Sub-committee
  • Coaching, Leadership & Safety Sub-committee
  • Membership and Communications Sub-committee
  • Performance & Talent Pathway Sub-committee
  • Places to Paddle and Environment Sub-committee


CEO Alistair Dickson comments:


"Following a review of our governance structure, it was agreed that there are areas of the organisation which require more support and that there are some fantastic people within our community who could help support us in achieving our goals.


Therefore, we have created a new structure which directly corresponds to the areas of our strategic plan, and we are opening up more opportunities to those not currently involved in the governance of Canoe Wales. We are confident this will help us to further develop paddlesports for the benefit of our members and the paddling community here in Wales.


We’re looking for people who are passionate about making a difference and supporting paddlesport development in Wales. You don’t have to be an expert paddler to make a difference; it’s all about being able to bring a balanced and constructive contribution to discussions and experience related to the functional area of the specific sub-committee you are interested in contributing to."


So, if you would like to see things run differently or be part of things here at Canoe Wales, please consider applying - and we look forward to receiving your application!


To find out more and apply, please read the full details on our Vacancies page.


The closing date for applications is Friday 23 July 2021.
