🌟OPEN ROLE 🌟
•Club Development & Strategic Planning Officer•

Development is more than about developing Club facilities. It is about developing the Club as a unit in terms of administration and activity. While the Club Chairperson plays a key role in initiating the development of a Club plan, a development officer will assist greatly in its implementation. The Club Development Officer should seek ways to improve the general organisation, structure and efficiency of the Club unit 

The Development Officer should:
•Work with a Subcommittee who will be selected in conjunction with the Club Officers to initiate planning and development including 5-year plan

•To act in an advisory role with other Club Subcommittees in the Club to ensure coordination of planning on a whole-Club basis

•To explore & seek funding opportunities from outside bodies to aid in aspects of Club development

•Leads on producing and monitoring the Club’s development plan

•Leads on major projects, e.g. new pitch, stand, etc.

***Estimated Effort***
•Adhoc based on the nature of the project or scope of current activity circa 1-2hours per week offline

•Recurring monthly Exec meeting

***Sub Committee***
•Not required permanent but may require support from time to time to support with major projects
 
It is proposed that the Club Development Officer be appointed from within the Club Executive after the Annual General Meeting i.e. the first Executive meeting. Because it is rarely possible for an Officer responsible for immediate day-to-day activities to devote time to planning and development, the person appointed should not already hold office, particularly the office of Chairperson, Secretary or Treasurer. There are unlimited opportunities for development in every Club. The Club Development Officer will not be able to tackle every development necessary in his/her Club but should select certain immediate Club needs and concentrate on them.
