Hello Clubs & Paddlers,

The Board of DBNSW would like to advise our Dragon Boat Community of the resignation of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Shane Knight.

Shane has been offered a fabulous opportunity as the national commercial business manager for a new up and coming global tech company and will be leaving us on the 18th Feb.

Over the last 2 years of leading the team, Shane has built some great momentum for dragon boating, with success in ticking off much of the road-map of our 2018-2020 strategic plan. He has also been instrumental in enabling the newly launched 2020-2024 strategic plan and initiatives to drive our sport forwards. His leadership, collaboration and commitment shown during the pandemic has been particularly appreciated, leading the way for team paddle sports to get back on the water while being mindful of the risks associated and incorporating the framework that the government has put in place.

Through Shane’s work, our sport will continue to develop successfully and we’d like to thank him for all he has helped DBNSW achieve over the past 2 years.

DBNSW and the Dragon Boat community would like to wish Shane the best of luck and success in his new and exciting role!

On this note, we are now recruiting for the position of CEO, Dragon Boats NSW. If you know of anyone who may be suited to this role, applications are now open here >  https://www.sportspeople.com.au/jobs/64563-chief-executive-officer-dragon-boats-nsw

Regards,
DBNSW Board
