September Column: ClubsNSW CEO Rebecca Riant

This year’s Conference will be an unparalleled opportunity for learning, networking and celebrating the vibrancy of our club community. The program is packed with insightful keynote speakers, panel discussions and practical workshops — all designed to support your club’s continued success in an evolving landscape. I encourage you to take a look at the program here and, if you’re in a position to do so, purchase a ticket here.

Of course, part of the Conference program is the 105^th ClubsNSW AGM. In preparation, we have published our Annual Report online which you can find here. Printed copies will be available at the AGM and upon request.

Unfortunately, due to a scheduling clash, I was unable to attend the New England Tablelands & North West Regional Meeting earlier this month. However, I’ve heard glowing feedback about the recently renovated Lightning Ridge Bowling Club and the dinner that the Club put on at one of the region’s iconic lookouts looked spectacular — take a look at the view below! Congratulations to all involved. I hope to make my way up there in the not-too-distant future.

I’m also proud to share that ClubsNSW is supporting the DrinkWise campaign during this year’s NRL Finals Series. Promoting safe and responsible drinking is a core value for our industry, and I encourage all clubs to get involved and help amplify this important message during the excitement of the finals. You can find out more about that here.

Can I also ask that you take a look at Episode Two of our AML/CTF Compliance Obligations Series? This resource will help ensure your club remains up to date with its Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing obligations, supporting best practice across our network.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to our industry. I look forward to seeing you at Conference on the Gold Coast and celebrating the achievements of our incredible clubs across NSW!
