Issues such as governance, management, procedures, compliance, transparency, independence, code of ethics, proper practice, strategic plan, operational plan, high performance plan, financial, development, promotion, communication, consultation, reporting, standards, criteria, anti-doping, member protection, conflicts, technical, medical are only but some of the issues with which we have to deal. The past eighteen months have been very hard on all of us and the Sport as we have had to deal with the work associated with both the governance and management reforms and the Australian Sports Anti Doping Agency (ASADA) investigation. However, I am very pleased to report that whilst there is still much to be done in the months ahead to complete the reform agenda in order to meet the expectations that the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) has established in consultation with the our Federation, we are well down the path of full compliance and a new Funding and Service Level Agreement has been entered with the ASC. The financial recovery measures taken by the Federation means that now we are debt free and provided we continue to move in the same direction and work co- operatively we can look forward to a bright and successful period ahead. In that regard I want to place on record my sincere appreciation to Matthew Curtain, our CEO, for his sterling work and his ability and capacity to relate well with our constituents and in more particular with our four major authorities namely; the ASC, Australian Olympic Committee (AOC), Australian Commonwealth Games Association (ACGA) and the ASADA. My very special thanks are offered also to David Crocker (ASC Senior Sports Consultant) who has given his special attention to the AWF and has worked in tandem with our CEO to achieve the level of administrative success we are currently enjoying; to Brent Espeland (ASC Director, Sports Performance), for his support and understanding; and to Perry Crosswhite (ACGA CEO) for his continued assistance. I am also proud and happy to report that the ASADA investigation is all but complete and that the implementation of the eight point action plan agreed by the AWF has progressed to the point that it is now a management issue. It is my belief that as a result of this investigation the AWF is well on the way to move towards the front of the pack with its anti-doping program. The scourge that is doping in sport continues to be one item which must keep all of us vigilant as its impact on sports, the sports industry and all of us as individuals will be one of devastation. Once again I wish to record my thanks to Richard Ings, (ASADA Chairman), Richard Redman, (ASADA) to Ian Moir, (AWF Anti Doping Officer), to Boris Kayser, (AWF Legal Officer), and to Matthew Curtain. The report of the CEO and the various Chairmen of Committees will accurately detail the goals achieved, the work in progress and the immediate and longer term prospects; however, I would like to table some of the successes achieved in the last twelve months: o Strategic Plan Preparation of 2007-2011 Strategic Plan; in line with the key outcomes of the High Performance Review and continued ASC & AWF Board discussion. o Operational Plan Listed as a CEO Key Performance Indicator, the AWF continues to comply with the ASC’s funding level agreement. o Financial Plan As detailed in the CEO’s report. o Financial Recovery As detailed in the CEO’s report. o High Performance Review and Recommendation As detailed in the CEO’s report. I conclude this report by extending my appreciation and personal thanks to each and every member of the Board. I do not want to single out anyone in particular, but thank you all. Your contribution and assistance has been incalculable. My congratulations and my thanks to the athletes, coaches, technical officials and other support personnel for the success achieved over the last year. My thanks to the States and Territories Councils and Administrators for their support to and cooperation with the Federation and their interest in its affairs. My personal thanks to Matthew Curtain, Boris Kayser, Ian Moir, Luke Borreggine, Ralph Cashman, Paul Coffa, Pedro Sanchez and Perry Crosswhite for their additional assistance and support. Sam Coffa AM, JP President REPORT ▪ CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Preamble Reflecting on the operational milestones of the year, I can report the Australian Weightlifting Federation (AWF) has, in all honesty, progressed and reformed in many of its practices and procedures to evolve into a National Sporting Organisation, worthy of Australian Sports Commission (ASC) recognition. Over the last twelve months, the AWF Secretariat continued to provide administrative support to the constituent membership while servicing the frameworks and management of its key stakeholders at National and International level. Indeed 2006-07, saw the Federation advance from the uncertainty of the ASADA investigation and the ASC’s suspension of funding to an organisation that will imminently contract the services of an additional staff member to provide strategic High Performance leadership, in preparation for the next quadrennial sporting cycle and beyond. Much work continues to be required by the AWF as a whole, however I remain convinced, the Federation, together with the advisory assistance received from our business partners is now in the position to create tangible opportunities for our constituent members, athletes and officials to consider. In line with the key result areas of the AWF’s operational plan, herein the following report outlines an overview of the AWF’s activities during 2006/07. Staff Administratively, the AWF employs one full time staff member (CEO) who thereafter, commissions the services of a contractor to facilitate the AWF bookkeeping duties. Chief Executive Officer Matthew Curtain VIC Book keeper (Contractor) Dr. Peter Cayley VIC In the coming period, the AWF will however advertise for a High Performance Program Manager, who will be primarily responsible for delivering the operational aspects of the High Performance portfolio. With the advent of this staff member, the duties of the High Performance Management Committee will change to an advisory group, as the High Performance Manager will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer who thereafter reports to the Board of Directors. Governance & Management Independent transparent and accountable governance remains the AWF’s primary Board objective. In 2006-07, the AWF adopted a number of key policies and procedures all aimed at strengthening its governance, management and core business infrastructure. These included: o Board Register of Interests Declaration Form o Member Protection Policy (updated) o Anti Doping Policy (updated) o AWF Anti Doping Eight Point Action Plan o AWF Anti Doping Disciplinary Committee By-Law o International Training and/or Competition By-Law o Risk Management Policy o Privacy Policy o Travel Policy Additionally, the Board endorsed the following terms of reference in order to allow its committees to work with ownership and accountability: o Technical Committee o Anti Doping Committee o Coach Development Advisory Group (CDAG) o CEO Review Committee o Finance & Audit Committee o High Performance Management Committee (HPMC) o Masters Committee o Medical Committee It is widely known, the AWF is an organisation limited by finance yet with a plethora of knowledge readily available within the constituency and within a vast range of portfolios, I urge all members to consider embracing the opportunity to assist the AWF, as our collective vision for a sport remains the same. High Performance During March / April 2007, the Australian Sports Commission undertook a review of the AWF’s High Performance pathways. Facilitated by Jackie Fairweather, Ms. Fairweather interviewed 35 key stakeholders nationally, which included Athletes, Coaches, Board Members, AWF Staff, State Associations, ASC, AOC and ACGA. At the conclusion of the High Performance Advisory Panel Workshop held in Melbourne on 13 & 14 April 2007, the working group of 16 people (from both within and outside of Weightlifting) agreed with the following recommendations: 1. That the vision and objectives of AWF and the High Performance Program are redefined and articulated, with success at the highest level as the primary aim. 2. That this vision, aims and objectives should then form the basis of the Strategic Plan and athlete and coach development pathways, with a longer term objective of producing athletes with the belief, capacity and opportunity to be competitive at the highest level of international competition.

  • Glasgow Athletes Return to Winners Circle in Hobart
    GLASGOW ATHLETES RETURN TO WINNERS CIRCLE IN HOBART Two Glasgow Commonwealth Games athletes on the comeback trail have set the scene for a high quality weekend of competition at the Australian Weightlifting Championships in Hobart. Vannara Be and Tegan Napper both lifted for Australia in 2014, but have had very little competition since. However they both showed they are well in the mix for selection for the Gold Coast next year with strong performances at the Royal Hobart Showgrounds on Friday. Melbourne’s Be only returned to the sport in January after three years away. “I was hoping to get to next Commonwealth Games, that’s why I’m back after taking three years off,” he said. “At the start of the year my coach called me up and asked if I was interested in making a comeback. I’m working two full time jobs at the moment, and trying to balance training. “It’s pretty hard. I’m trying to put a little bit more effort into training. I’ll probably drop my Saturday job and just work five days a week so I can train on Saturday.” Be said he was a little disappointed in his weights on Friday, but believes after winning the 62kg title the signs are good. Napper relocated from the Gold Coast to Adelaide after Glasgow, and has been battling injury. “They were not the best lifts today on the platform, hopefully I can improve on that later in the year,” Napper said after winning the 53kg title. “I just want to get as far as I can, and hopefully be in contention for Commonwealth Games by the end of the year.

  • OWF Newsletter
    OCEANIA WEIGHTLIFTING FEDERATION Newsletter September 30, 2019 OWF President turns 50 years old. Happy Birthday!! The Hon. Marcus Stephen MP, President of the Oceania Weightlifting Federation, st turn 50 on the 1 October. On behalf of the OWF we wish Marcus all the very best on this special day of his life. And we wish him a healthy and prosperous future in the many years ahead of him. Everybody should be aware that if it wasn’t for Marcus Stephen – the Pacific island countries of Oceania would not be where they are today. It was Marcus who started that ball rolling, when he walked in to the Hawthorn Recreation Centre at the age of 16, where the famous Hawthorn Weightlifting Club was housed. Marcus who was student at St. Bedes College, was identified as a talent through the school program – the clean & jerk - that Victoria Weightlifting was running at the time. During that period of time, over 27,000 students competed annually in the ‘clean & jerk’ program in Victoria alone. I had the privilege of coaching Marcus from 1985 onwards. He became a truly world class athlete. Winning seven gold medals, and five silver medals at the Commonwealth Games. In addition a silver medal at the Athens World championships in 1999 where he clean & jerked a magic 172.5kg in the 62kg category. At that event he was amongst the greatest weightlifters in the world at the time, Lee Maosheng (China), Sabanis Leonidas (Greece), Sevdalin Minchev (Bulgaria), Nikolai Pashlov (Croazia), Shi Zhiyoung (China), Hafiz Suleymanoglu (Turkey), Yurik Sarkisian (Australia) and many other champion.
