2022 LSV Club Conference

Life Saving Victoria (LSV) is thrilled to announce the annual Club Conference is returning to face-to-face this year.

Mark your calendars for Saturday 17 September and Sunday 18 September, when we host a fantastic program of guest speakers and workshops to help clubs prepare for season 2022-23.

Volunteers will be presented with an array of topical and essential information, with content focused on the coming year.

This event provides the opportunity for LSV to demonstrate new resources that are available to clubs, as well as a fantastic occasion for members to come together with other volunteers from around the state.

Woolamai is looking to send a group of eager people to go and learn this information and come back with a variety of knowledge that they can then apply and bring back to the club.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who is currently in a leadership position or wishes to be one in the future as it gives a beneficial understanding of what’s happening at LSV and a good kickstart for the season ahead.

The draft program can be found HERE

If you’re interested in going, please fill out the expression of interest HERE and someone will be in contact with you.

In order for the club to make a booking in time, the EOI will close Friday 2nd September

Any questions please get in contact with Brendan Smart - 0433 793 097
