Congratulations, Steve Jennison - Northern Beaches Australia Day 2022 Community Service Award.

Steve is highly regarded and respected for his voluntary involvement with Warringah Archers for more than 40 years, as well as his involvement with Archery NSW and Archery Australia. He is a passionate and engaging person and he uses this to help and enable people to be the best that they can be in both the sport of archery and within themselves. Steve has used his strong leadership and communication to lead and mentor both junior and adult archers, and to run archery tournaments.

Steve has led and participated in many sporting boards and committees as well as trained archers of all skill levels, from beginners to Olympians, using tailored coaching and training sessions. Steve also officiates at club and state tournaments and helps to maintain the club grounds. Most recently, Steve gave his time over many months to youth members of the Warringah Archery Club as they trained for the Youth National archery event.
