Rebecca Clark appointed Snow Australia Community Engagement Manager

Snow Australia is pleased to announce Rebecca Clark has been appointed as the new Community Engagement Manager.

Rebecca has over 16 years’ experience in the Australian snowsports industry, starting in the Perisher Race Department. She has since held roles as the NSW Interschools Operations Manager, Executive Officer of NSW Snowsports and more recently, Snow Australia’s National Alpine and Development Pathway Coordinator, which she left in 2021 to take on a Coach Advisor role at the Australian Sports Commission.

She has remained active in the snow community during this time, embedded in Interschools, supporting our committees, and working closely with our club programs, while also developing the Snow Australia Foundations, Talent, Elite and Mastery Pathway Strategy.

Rebecca rejoins the Snow Australia team as the Community Engagement Manager, responsible for building sustainable, diverse and inclusive Snowsports communities through creating, delivering and supporting engagement programs, initiatives and events from participation through to pre-elite pathways.

“I am very excited to return to Snow Australia, to connect with our community and contribute to the engagement and growth of our sport,” Rebecca said.

“I was attracted to this role as I am passionate about Snowsports and creating welcoming, safe and inclusive environments in which people feel valued, connected and can contribute to.

Working cross-functionally with staff, volunteers, committees, partners and stakeholders, Rebecca will work to identify, develop and implement strategic initiatives that will support the athlete pathway and foster lifelong connection with Snowsports.

“Our community consists of dedicated volunteer committees, club volunteers, coaches, judges and administration staff who work to develop our sport and athletes at all levels.

“A key driver of this role is to collaborate with our community to develop strategies to better connect our events, products and programs to create a more inclusive environment. By doing so, supporting the development of a strong and robust athlete pipeline, while also providing more opportunities for people to engage socially or contribute to our sport within various roles,” she said.

CEO Michael Kennedy said Snow Australia is fortunate to have Rebecca return to the organisation, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role.

“We’re wrapt to welcome Bec back to the Snow Australia family,” said Kennedy. “She returns at an exciting time for the organisation.

“She’s learned a lot from her time at the Australian Sports Commission and we’re looking forward to the impact she will bring.”
