What is the Reward and Recognition scheme?

Similar to many volunteer organisations, we are encountering difficulty in attracting as many officials as we would like to some of our events. Events such as the Clipsal 500 are no difficulty due to their high profile. However, in order to facilitate the training of our members and to provide the number of marshals whom we believe to be essential to ensure safe racing and fair competition, we have considered a number of initiatives to assist us to increase the attendance of our members. In doing that, we appreciate that there are many reasons why people find volunteering more difficult now than in the past, economic circumstances, family commitments etc.

One of those initiatives that we feel offers a distinct possibility of success is an Reward and Recognition Scheme. It will be a simple scheme, based on a point’s allocation for attendance, with a bias towards the events at Mallala.

The Reward and Recognition Scheme will simply reward members for their contribution. Of course, to work, we would like to offer some rewards to those who make a substantial contribution during the year, even if the rewards are quite nominal.

Progress “scores” are published in our Monthly Newsletter, which receives wide circulation throughout the motor racing fraternity in this State, and of course would include a reference to people or organizations that donate something towards our scheme.

Presentations will be made annually. Acknowledgement of people or organisations who make a donation will be an integral part of the presentations.
