The Maroondah Volleyball Committee would like to share that, over the weekend, we received formal notice that long-serving Secretary, Catherine Gordon, will be stepping down from her role as Secretary, a position she has served in for more than a decade.
Since taking on the position of Secretary in 2011, Catherine has been a driving force behind the growth, stability and governance of Maroondah Volleyball. Her commitment, passion and countless hours of volunteer work have helped shape the association into what it is today.
During Catherine’s time as Secretary, the association has undergone significant growth and transformation. This includes the transition of Croydon & Districts Volleyball Association Inc to Maroondah Volleyball, the move from Aquahub (formerly Croydon Leisure Centre) to the purpose-built facility at Maroondah Nets in Heathmont, and the expansion of the association from primarily delivering local competition games to a broad range of programs and pathways.
These programs now include Spikezone, MEIV, Social Sundays, Victorian Volleyball League teams (first as the Croydon 36ers and now the Maroondah Cobras), VolleyAll, Little Spikers and the Maroondah Volleyball Tournament, all of which have helped strengthen and grow volleyball opportunities within our community.
Catherine’s approachable nature, leadership and unwavering support for players, volunteers, referees and committee members alike have left a lasting impact across the association and wider volleyball community.
We sincerely thank Catherine for her incredible contribution over the past 15 years and acknowledge her many years of involvement within the association and on the Committee. While stepping down from the Secretary role, Catherine will continue to be involved around Maroondah Volleyball through a variety of volunteer roles, along with continuing to play and coach within the association.
In accordance with the association’s requirements, the Committee will announce the appointment of a new Secretary within the required 14-day period.
