Program Leaders
Program Leader Checklist
Silver Salties Program Leaders are an integral element of Silver Salties success at a club. Most Silver Salties clubs have more than one Silver Salties program leader so that jobs such as leading the programs, setting up equipment, entering participant information, and promoting the programs can be shared.
All program leaders possess qualities that make coming to Silver Salties enjoyable. Please see the Program Leader Checklist here.
Program Leader Network
The Silver Salties Program Leader Network aims to connect program leaders so they can reach out to each other and discuss good practice around planning and delivering Silver Salties.
Most Silver Salties clubs have more than one Silver Salties program leader (see full list), however, only one program leader has been included in the table below as a point of contact to email.
Program leaders display enthusiasm, encourage participants, demonstrate cultural sensitivity, and promote positive group dynamics; communicate regularly with the club executive; provide regular updates to participants about session details; know program content, follow safety and risk management processes, and can reach out to other club members for guidance or support; and consider opportunities for unique experiences. Read about two legendary Program Leaders who were early adopters of the Silver Salties initiative: Colin Morley (Woolgoolga SLSC, NSW) and Rozanne Green (Bondi SBLSC) below.
