SSAA NSW

G'day members, The last couple of months have been an excellent time of development for SSAA NSW, and to be a member of SSAA NSW. In that time, we have completed our strategic plan. We have also completed a comprehensive member survey with a huge response of over 6,300 members responding in less than 9 days, and on top of that, we have assisted 2,000 member attendees from the hunters and collectors longarm categories of NSW firearms licencing to achieve their mandatory attendances with online training and communication. Strategic Plan Our strategic plan was developed by the Board with the intent of including as many members and branches as possible to provide input to achieve a strategic plan that supported all levels of SSAA NSW. This includes the individual member, through our branch and affiliate club structure, the NSW board, and the governance of our association. To achieve this outcome, we started with a board strategic planning day in late 2022. This was followed up by the membership survey which was sent to every member's email address which resulted in the spectacular result of over 10% of members responding to a 20-minute survey in less than 9 days. Most surveys of this type only achieve a 2% response. Finally, we assembled our branch delegates for a face-to-face meeting to go over the board outcome, the member survey outcome, and the branch delegate input to deliver our final and very consultative strategic plan. A special thanks to the branch delegates for their input and the positive way they contributed. 6 WHATS ON / OCT 2023 SSAA NSW President Message
