Georgia an emerging leader

Georgia Gordon has been named as the Emerging Leader Award winner at the Aquatics and Recreation Victoria (ARV) Industry Awards.

Georgia has been a City employee for almost nine years, starting as a lifeguard and is currently the Aquatic Manager/2IC at the Norlane ARC and Lara Swimming Pool.

The awards recognise excellence within the aquatic and recreation industry, with 25 awards presented out of a competitive field of 254 nominations.

The City of Greater Geelong was well-represented with 10 nominees, showcasing the City’s commitment to excellence in aquatics and recreation.

“It is an incredible privilege to represent the City of Greater Geelong and to be acknowledged among such talented professionals,” Ms Gordon said.

“This award is a reflection of the support and encouragement from my colleagues and the community.”

Councillor Sarah Hathway commended the nominees and said that Georgia’s achievement as an Emerging Leader is inspiring.

“The recognition of our city’s talent and hard work at these prestigious awards shows the strength and commitment of our local industry professionals,” Cr Hathway said.
