Broad range of topics and deep discussion, looking forward to seeing @SMAANZBoard pillars develop and evolve over the next 18 months!

[SMAANZ @SMAANZBoard]

This week the @SMAANZBoard met in Melbourne ahead of the upcoming #SMAANZMidYearHDR event at @RMIT today. We have several pillars that the Board are focusing on developing over the next 2 years and look forward to sharing more updates with our community soon ✨

12 months since we published our systematic review of women's professional sport research - are we challenging the status quo in the year Aus/NZ host the #FWWC2023? https://t.co/10Sd5WkMC3 via @LinkedIn

A lot of chatter about 'legacy' up and down the east coast of Aus with a decade of sport events planned - #sportlegacy sometimes spruiked - but often superficially. This article has a deep exploration of sport participation legacies: https://t.co/9tlVs3UwBM
