Chair - Liz Wisniewsk
Email - [email protected] Job Description - Click here for a full role description Netball lifer, not making it onto court now but still running along the sideline blowing the whistle occasionally. Umpire mentor and assessor too, really enjoying working with trainee umpires, and helping them to progress and qualify. During my time on the committee I have always been very proud of what Tyne and Wear County deliver and achieve annually, for a relatively small county. And I’m looking forward to a new challenge as Chair of the County – hopefully just for a short while 😉 and developing new opportunities for all areas of netball in our county. |
