STRATEGIC PLAN | Baseball SA 2017 - 2020 baseball sa Without doubt, season 2017/18 has been a memorable one from winning National Championships, to welcoming new players and their families, through to the excitement of having new owners of the Adelaide Bite. I want to start by acknowledging our volunteers across all Clubs, whom without this passionate group of people the doors would simply not open, the fields would not be prepared, the canteens not be serving, and the bars would not be pouring. Sometimes we focus on the bigger picture, when in fact it’s the little things that make the big picture a reality, so thank you to all the volunteers. In very much the same vain, I would like to thank our ever-devoted scorers, and umpires who are instrumental in providing the infrastructure which enables the PRESIDENT players to bring the game to life. This year in conjunction with the Clubs, the Board delivered its strategic plan, in what will be the driving mechanism to ensure we develop and implement a sustainable foundation for our organisation. We will continue to seek opportunities to generate external revenue streams, forge new strategic partners, and strengthen existing ones. We acknowledge and will continue to work closely with our key stake holders, government and our governing body to maximise every opportunity. In July, Baseball SA’s Patron Terry Evans was appointed to the Board, by the Directors. He will strengthen our overall governance structure, while providing legal support through his impressive professional resume within the legal sector. We welcomed 3 new staff members to enhance on the excellent work out going team members had delivered. I wish both Matt and Landon every success in their new endeavours. Tyrone and Chris, both bring a diverse set of skills to Baseball SA, and will continue to implement programs that will deliver success. Rowena strengthens our organisation by creating programs that reach into our targeted areas. Laura and Bianca continually bring value to our organisation through diversity in the roles.
