The Southern Downs Regional Council’s commitment to leadership will be on display again in February when the Brisbane Lions come to Warwick.
Star players Sabrina Frederick, Michael Close, Oscar McInerney and Warwick’s own Delissa Kimmince will be showing local juniors the tricks of the trade, while coaching staff will deliver leadership sessions to local students and businesses.
AFL Queensland has worked hard with the local Redbacks Football Club to make sure the Lion’s best talent is in Warwick.
On Tuesday 21 February, students at Scots PGC will enjoy a skills session before the Redbacks host a Super Clinic from 4.30pm to 6.30pm.
Southern Downs mayor Tracy Dobie said she was thrilled to have four of the Lions’ best players travel to Warwick.
“We will also have the new Lions coach Chris Fagan and the new general manager of football David Noble here and they will be addressing two functions on 22 February.
“As a part of our commitment to a healthy and active community, Chris and David will speak at a Mayoral Leadership Breakfast at Scots College. They will be speaking about making healthy choices and we will be inviting our region’s school leaders as well as all members of the community.”
This will be the first event of this type for the new coach and general manager of football, another first for the Southern Downs.
The council will be hosting a second event on 22 February at Warwick Town Hall, Palmerin Street, from 8.30am, which will be aimed at business and community leaders.
Portfolio councillor for regional promotion and tourism Rod Kelly said that it was great to have these two highly experienced executives in the region willing to pass on their knowledge about creating a winning culture.
“Opportunities like this are rare. These men are the best of the best and I would encourage anyone who is in business in the Southern Downs to get to town hall to hear the message,” Cr Kelly said.
