SEA Annual Report 2020-2021

CHAIRPERSON’S MESSAGE

I am delighted to release SEA’s Annual Report 2020-2021 on behalf of myself and my predecessor, Peter Wearne, who was interim chair of SEA until my appointment in late 2020.

No organisation escaped the effects of the last 20 months and SEA is no exception. Nonetheless much was achieved as is referred to in the annual report {linked below} despite the myriad of challenges including:

• completion of the Future Proofing Community Sport & Recreation Facilities online guide which is a roadmap for climate change management for facilities

• the upgrade of the SEA website and the integration of the TidyHQ membership tool

• and very importantly the commencement of a strategic review in May which will lead to significant Member benefits and a change to the way in which SEA operates. Much more to come on this.

I have long been a supporter of the work of SEA and have found that my learning curve, as chair, is both steep and fascinating.

I thank my fellow Directors, whose bios appear towards the end of this report, for their support and guidance and of course SEA's indefatigable CEO Dr Sheila Nguyen, and her team, for her wonderful work.

Last but not least I extend my thanks to Members, Partners and Ambassadors whose contributions and enthusiasms ensure SEA's message and work is and remains guided by science for the benefit of the planet.
