Annual Report
Annual Report April 2015 to March 2016 Chairman Over the past year, the staff and Management Board of ASA East Region have endeavoured to steer the organisation to best serve its clubs and members. Freed from the ASA’s priority of increasing participation, we are able to focus on providing support to clubs, running high quality regional competitions, and developing our athletes and workforce (both volunteers and paid). Although managed by volunteers, we do have a small, but dedicated, team of paid staff who work extremely hard to make sure that ASA East Region is an efficient and effective organisation. Now happily settled into our new, and improved office accommodation, our Divisional Officer Manager, Kelly Stannard, is often the first point of contact for clubs and members and always endeavours to help those who need our support. Kelly always goes the extra mile to help those who contact ASA East Region and the Management Board was delighted that her excellent ‘can do’ attitude was recognised at the 2016 ASA Staff Awards Ceremony when she received a Gold award, for Excellence in Customer Service. The Regional Club Support Officer, Leanne Brace, and Regional Development Support Officer, Amy Bryant, constantly strive for excellence for our Region, putting clubs and members at the heart of everything they do. They both work in partnership with relevant staff at the ASA to ensure that activities promoted by the Region complement any national programmes. The Management Board approves the annual budget and plans, and oversees the implementation of plans and strategies against this. The Management Board comprises officers, elected members and representatives from our six counties.
