CEO Report
Dave Beeche
• Strategic Plan Overview
• Neilson Survey data showed 99k participants in the
sport as at the end of June 2009
• Overview of Pathways:
• Overview of Profile:
• Contact Energy Campaign – Billboards etc.
• Question (Ken O’Rourke) – How can we ensure
there isn’t going to be another debacle on national
television like there was at Takapuna? Dave Beeche
answered with the ‘lap out’ rule
• Question (John Hellemans) – Are Age-group races
going to be draft legal? Non-drafting was the overall
feel from those present
• Contact Duathlon Series – we didn’t get the
participation numbers we were hoping for, so Tri NZ
will be reviewing the series. Tri NZ to contact Clubs
when this review is underway.
• Tri TV – Audience of 1 million
• World Triathlon Festival – No spectator or
participation growth. Tri NZ will be reviewing this
event; it will not be run in the current structure. We
appreciate that we need an international event in NZ
• National Schools – Good growth in participation
numbers. The first time this event made the TV News
• Question (Ken O’Rourke) – Is there any chance of
changing the venue? For example; alternating North
and South Island? The current venue is ideal, but
Dave has noted the idea.
• Overview of Performance:
• Beijing – Congratulations to Debbie Tanner, Andrea
Hewitt for top 10 placings and Bevan Docherty for his
Bronze medal
• Dave acknowledged Stephen Farrell’s work for Beijing
• Welcome to Greg Fraine, Tri NZ National Coach
• Organisation Capability:
• Question (Ken O’Rourke) – Why has the Youth
Development funding dropped from 51% to 15%?
Has Youthtown pulled out? Dave advised that
Youthtown had not pulled out. Weet-bix has pulled
out and SMC now control the marketing.
• Question (Murray Matthews) – Did we lose the tender
for the Kiwi Kids (Weet-bix) contract? Dave advised
that we did not tender due to lack of resource at the
time. Dave will be meeting with SMC next week and
will be in contact with Murray
• Question (Murray Matthews) – Do we intend to see
the same level of reliance of Trust Funding, or will we
reduce the reliance? Dave advised that Trust Funding
will always be a part of our funding.
• Dave thanked the Board for the huge amount of
voluntary time they put into Tri NZ
• Dave thanked the Staff at Tri NZ
