SENIOR COMMITTEE ROLES / DESCRIPTIONS

Welcome to our Senior Committee page. All roles within the senior committee are strictly voluntary. Each member generously donates their time and expertise to support the Kedron Lions. While every committee member strives to fulfill their responsibilities to the best of their ability, it’s important to remember these are volunteer positions, not paid professional roles. We appreciate the dedication and passion they bring, understanding that balancing committee duties with personal and professional commitments can be challenging. This page outlines the roles and contributions of each volunteer committee member, recognizing their invaluable support in helping the club thrive.

Some roles on the senior committee are not filled by individual members alone, but instead multiple duties are undertaken by one or more individuals. Additionally, certain important roles within the club are filled by volunteers who support the committee but are not formal committee members themselves. This collaborative approach allows the club to share responsibilities effectively across dedicated volunteers, balancing workloads while ensuring all necessary functions are covered for the smooth running of the club.

We would love to get more people involved in supporting the Kedron Lions community. If you’re interested in becoming a committee member or helping to fill any of the various volunteer roles—whether on the senior committee or in other important areas around the club—please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your time and enthusiasm make a real difference to the success and positive experience of everyone involved. Joining the team is a great way to connect, contribute, and be part of something special within our club community.
