On behalf of the athletics community in the ACT and surrounds I would like to welcome Shane Ellis to the position of joint LAACT/AACT Participation and Development Officer. Shane commenced his position on Monday 8th May.

Shane was selected from a competitive field of applicants, many of whom were from interstate. In fact Shane was one of those applicants making the big decision to move from Perth to the nation’s capital.

Shane comes to Canberra with an impressive background in sports administration as a Manager, Educator, Coach, and Masters Athlete. His most recent activities have included a role with Athletics Australia where he was involved in Coach Education, the ‘Athletics in the Outback’ Program, and as a coach with the Target Talent Program.

Shane will be out and about over the next few weeks at the RunACT Junior series so please make him feel welcome.
