Again,theQSportBoardsignedoffontheplanandprogramandanoperatingsurplusthatwassignificantly surpassed, for reasons coveredmore extensively in the Treasurer’s Report,along with maintenance of membership andsponsorshipsupport.

2010 proved to be both significant andchallengingformeintheroleIhaveoccupiednowsince the late1990’s. Itwas significantbecause QSport built upon the expandedinterfacewiththeStateGovernmentcreatedbytheMinisterforSporttheHon.PhilReevesMPand challenging because increased demandsassociated with more interface with Stateand Federal Governments coincided withsome unexpected turnover in the small, leansecretariatthatistheQSportOffice.

The departure of longstanding OperationsManager Belinda Stark in February saw firstSamanthaDunnand then inSeptember,KylieThomson take up in the pivotal coordinatorrole,withthepositionunoccupiedforatotalofclose to threemonthsbetweenFebruaryandSeptember.

Whilst the Sport Awards attendance of 760inDecember, including tennewHallofFameinductees/representatives,didn’tcausequitethe same demands as the previous year’s1,200strongQ150celebration,theworkloadsinjustabouteveryotheraspectoftheoverall2010programdid,withanunderdoneattimesstaffingcomplementhavingitshandswellandtrulyfull.
