Ian Jessup finalist in NSW Sports award

Last Updated: Thursday, 23 February 2017 23:35

Congratulations to our Marketing & Communications Officer Ian Jessup on being a finalist at the annual Sport NSW awards.

From a record number of entries, Ian made the shortlist for Sports Administrator of the Year.

Ian has been with ONSW for nearly six years and, along with many others, has helped transform the organisation from an amateur body into a semi-professional one with increasing development, participation and media exposure across the state.

He claims his pride and joy was developing - with Barbara Hill, Carolyn Rigby and Salme Fuller - the OK-GO kit now being widely used in schools.

Ian's nomination follows Sydney Summer Series founder Ross Barr's Community Sport Administrator award last August, and the Enderby family's five nominations at the recent Lake Macquarie sports awards night.

On behalf of all orienteers we congratulate Ian on this prestigious occasion.
