Its primary function is to assess and recommend individuals who meet the criteria outlined in the Hockey ACT General By-laws for recognition as a Hockey ACT Community Hero.
The Committee provides recommendations only, with all final decisions regarding recognition made at the sole discretion of the Hockey ACT Board.

All members are appointed by the Hockey ACT Board and may be removed at any time at the Board’s discretion.

To support continuity, initial appointments will be staggered, with half the Committee appointed for one-year terms and the remaining half for two-year terms. Following the initial establishment of the Committee, all future appointments will be for two-year terms.

Key Responsibilities
