Sheree has been working within sporting events for the past 25 years. She brings experience, but more importantly, passion. Sheree so has a deep understanding of the participants, what they need along with what sponsor need. Doing the basics well is at the core of what Sheree believes creates a successful event for both sponsor and the participants. The team she has working behind the scenes the following competencies that are considered critical to providing a sustained competitive advantage for the event through the new management structure. • A commitment to the continued development of the event, and its philosophy. • The retention of operational expertise and the development of a programme of succession planning for key functions. • Media, public relations and sponsorship expertise. • Empathy and understanding of the ultra and running community and social connection created by likeminded people coming together. • Strategies for growth through mechanisms that add value.
She hopes you will all join her and make this event as successful as it has been in the past – see you all in December!
