Arotahi Sport Calendar Review & Refresh Project:

To support the achievement of our 2024–2027 Strategic Plan, SLSNZ identified several key initiatives, informed by Club Satisfaction Surveys and feedback from Club Chairs/Delegates forums held across the country.

One of these projects related to the sport events calendar. The purpose of the project is to review of the planning and delivery of all existing SLS sport events in order to investigate, consider and decide on new/improved processes and opportunities.

SLSNZ is now consulting with the membership on three proposals designed to optimise event delivery, improve member experience and ensure long-term sustainability.

A. Introduce a nationally coordinated calendar process for Sports events.
B. Create greater consistency across event delivery standards and experience, through establishing a second tier of National events
C. Nationally drive and Support a local participation delivery model

Join our Q&A online session - Friday 7pm. Link here: https://rb.gy/tlf3zz

More information, the full consultation document and links to the survey can be found here https://rb.gy/vxy8fa
