Committee members stepping down

Kat: for her training, developing and coaching of the new General Officers this year as well as many years in other positions on cttee (including and not withstanding training manager)

Katie G: for her weekly PR and comms contributions

Laura: for her redesign of the new-to-Raiders onboarding as well as comms to the Dev squad and other General Officer tasks

Tomas: for his minuting of committee meetings and ad hoc duties

Katie H: for being the heart of our committee, bringing warmth, inclusivity, and fairness to every meeting, event, and game. She’s fostered a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued, led with integrity, and balanced kindness with authority. Her leadership, care, and passion have inspired us all and made this season a success. Thank you, Katie.
