President of Ginninderra Little Athletics Centre

In unusual circumstances, Ginninderra Little Athletics Centre had to call upon its two newest General Committee Members to step up and become its President and Vice-President. Parents Steve Dodt and Phil Henderson took on the roles respectively with support from a dedicated number of other volunteers, including Life Member Helen Hopkins.

The previous past President had committed Ginninderra to hosting not one, but two major Athletics events, and a number of high profile infrastructure investments before stepping down.

With the Committee lacking “athletics knowledge”, Canberra Sprint Coach, Steve Dodt and Australian-All time High Jump Champion Phil Henderson, went about re-inventing the Tigers from the ground up. Steve would go on to remain President until March 2014 and Phil took over for another two years after that.
