From the Board’s perspective, it is very satisfying to see that the organisation is in a favourable position financially, achieving the goals of the strategic plan through ongoing resourceful and effective management operationally. It is refreshing to be able to start the reflection of the successes and achievements of the year with the Team Queensland participation in the Sydney Youth Festival and to end the reporting period with thirteen (13) state representative teams’ participation at the Pan Pacific Youth Water Polo Festival. In between there has been championships, events, upskilling programs, the introduction of new accreditation programs, information sessions, significant social media coverage, the statistics and reports for which will be itemised under the relevant sections in the Annual Report. Governance within sporting organisations is currently at the forefront of all official directives and policy papers. The current core business funding requires that State Sporting Organisations in Queensland address their governance strategically and to this end, after consultation with member clubs and associations, Water Polo Queensland adopted a new constitution in September 2017 that complies with the current legislation and the needs of the organisation. The constitution allows for a portfolio-based management committee whereby electing someone to fill each role can now be determined by the nominee’s suitable and relevant qualifications for each position. Through this process, the Diversity & Marketing Officer role was established, which recognises the importance in ensuring the sport is accessible to all Queenslanders. This is the first role of its kind in any state sporting organisation, and further demonstrates the leadership WPQ has shown in this space. I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their dedication in ensuring the governance of water polo in Queensland is at all times compliant to the various – and many - rules of the sport and governing bodies as well as the requirements of legislation and for their deliberation on all matters. There has been increased cooperation and consultation within the organisation with the portfolio roles being held by suitably qualified members – and more time devoted to carrying out the related duties. We strive to create an environment of professionalism and program delivery and to achieve this we need a committed workforce of paid employees and volunteers. Annual Report | www.waterpoloqld.com.au 9 We are fortunate to have the calibre of staff in the WPQ office who are dedicated water polo enthusiasts and understand the needs of the water polo community in Queensland. Water polo, as with most other sports, could not survive without the many dedicated volunteers who take roles on club committees, run programs and events, coach and manage teams and many more significant duties. Congratulations to you all - staff and volunteers – and thank you on a job well done to achieve the success as recorded in this report. While this report is claiming successes and efficiencies on many fronts, there is still much work to be done. We are at the half way mark of the current funding period and have achieved more than seventy-five per cent of the initiatives of the grant. With continued cooperation within the whole Queensland water polo community, Water Polo Queensland will become “the home of Water Polo in Australia by taking the game to more people and more communities across Queensland” by creating “an environment where our clubs and associations are thriving, our volunteers are valued and fulfilled, participation is at an all-time high, and our athletes are being nurtured, striving for excellence and maximising their potential.” (WPQ Strategic
