By any measure, these Games were a great success with over 2.7 million tickets sold, unprecedented media coverage and incredible sporting performances. WSWA was extremely proud of the 14 athletes and 3 staff who represented Australia and our organisation at these Games and their performances were amazing, winning a combined 9 silver and one bronze medals. In addition to the success of the current athletes, it was a significant highlight for WSWA to have Frank Ponta and Louise Sauvage inducted into the International Paralympic Committee Hall of Fame, during a ceremony held in London. These two amazing athletes are legends of WSWA and it was a great reward for their years of commitment to Paralympic sport. The other significant achievement for the organisation this year has been the securing of a long term lease for facilities at the Herb Graham Recreation Centre. The Board and management have worked closely with the City of Stirling over the past 18 months to secure the lease, which will provide stability for the organization for the foreseeable future. The relocation of the administration and fundraising staff to the new office will provide greater efficiencies in administration, therefore allowing a greater focus on delivering programs and services for our members. The significant grant provided by Lotterywest to fund the office fit-out and new IT system was essential in achieving this great result and we are greatly appreciative of this support. Whilst the current uncertain economic climate is making it increasingly difficult to raise funds through the telemarketed raffles, the organisation has acted proactively to address this, by implementing a new fundraising system aimed at providing significant cost efficiencies, which will be launched later this year. In addition to this, the organisation has been able to diversify its income stream via increased funding through the Government, securing one off grants, effectively managing its investment portfolio and expanding the corporate team building activities, all of which has delivered a healthy surplus for the 2011-12 financial year. WSWA continues to offer a broad range of activities for our members to participate in throughout the year. It is always exciting to see new programs develop so successfully, with the Cerebral Palsy Football and Powerlifting programs great examples of this during the past 12 months. The re-emergence of the West Coast Enforcers wheelchair rugby team was also a positive achievement for the organisation, as was the partnership with the Mandurah Magic to set up a satellite centre for wheelchair basketball in the Peel region. In addition to the various sporting programs, the organisation continues to provide a significant recreation and social events calendar, focused on providing opportunities for all members to connect on a social level. Whilst the Sports Star of the Year Awards remains the social highlight of the year, the success of this year’s Quiz Night has undoubtedly placed this event a close second. The past 12 months has also seen the organization increase its presence within the hospital and rehabilitation system, with the aim of increasing membership by encouraging new members to take advantage of the array of membership benefits offered to people with a physical disability and their families. The WheelLife disability awareness program continues to successfully provide education and awareness outcomes for school students and community groups, aimed at raising awareness of the abilities and achievements of people with a physical disability. The organisation has also been able to expand this program into the corporate sphere during 2012 with great success and this provides a unique opportunity for the organisation in years to come. This year has seen WSWA develop a media plan to build the Association’s profile and build our internal capability in the area of media relations and publicity. Through funding from the Department of Sport & Recreation, WSWA was able to gain the services of GT Media to develop a long term strategy in this area. The plan aimed to strategically take advantage of the London Paralympic Games to promote our athletes and their stories and in turn also promote what it is that our organisation does. The project has proven to be a great success in terms of the level of media coverage gained, building capacity and up skilling staff and making significant connections with key media contacts. As always, without the support of our amazing volunteers, none of what we do would be possible. I am always amazed at the level of commitment our volunteers make to the organisation and everyone involved is truly appreciative for their contribution. Thanks to our significant key partners the Disabled Children’s Foundation, Department of Sport & Recreation and Healthway, as well as the general public, for providing the funding which allows us to provide the ongoing programs and services for our membership. I also thank the dedicated Board and staff team for your passion and commitment to WSWA over the past year. With the support of everyone involved with WSWA, I truly believe we are heading in the right direction. Finally, on behalf of all past and present members of WSWA, I would like to thank outgoing President Esme Bowen for her significant contribution to the organisation over the past 20 years. Esme has been a driving force behind the growth and development of the organisation during her time, particularly in regards to governance and profile and her skills and passion around the Board table will be hard to replace.

As I write this report another fabulous Paralympics, London 2012 has come and gone! WSWA celebrates the successes and challenges withthose of our athletes who have achieved the highest pinnacle of their sport, where they give up so much to represent Australia on theInternational stage of competition.
Others in our organisation have the joy of watching their friends and family members compete and revel in the sporting journey and theinspirational personal pathway to get there.
For me, whether it is Paralympics, National League, recreation or Junior camp, the level of competition is quite irrelevant; the pride, passion,true grit, determination and the smiles are just as broad in either place. Some of our Paralympians may say that there may be just a touchmore fun in the flying fox at Junior camp here in WA, than in the gruelling training demands of the elite!
WSWA has had another fruitful year, thanks to the Board, CEO Gary Lees, staff and fundraising team, along with our key volunteers,supporters, sponsors and our athletes.
Last year it was exciting to see not only Neil Guard rejoin our Board team, but to welcome also Ross Glendinning to the table. Along with allthe Board members, both have brought wise counsel and broad perspective to discussions and decisions. The Board and Managementcontinue to make substantial improvements in governance to ensure compliance and sustainability of the organisation, and have workeddiligently on developing prudent strategy, financial stability and a balanced funds investment for the organisation. We are proud to announcea healthy surplus for this past financial year.
It is wonderful to be able to report that Board planning to amalgamate all our staff under the one roof at the Herb Graham Recreation Centrein Mirrabooka, in partnership with the City of Stirling and with generous support from Lotterywest, is now a reality and the move to becompleted sometime this month. The Osborne Park premises will then provide another income stream for the organisation when leased.
Our outstanding staff team under the steady and professional stewardship of Gary Lees, with Mandy, Joel and their respective teams, haverisen to each challenge but this year has not often had time to celebrate and enjoy the organisation's many successes, with the next projector event rapidly looming. However I know they will truly enjoy the geographical advantage that comes with being a team in the one location,all working together for the ultimate benefit of the members.
Champion in life and sport for us all within the WSWA family, was always the late Frank Ponta, and it is fitting that this year his accoladesand significant contribution to sport were internationally recognised, with both Frank and the amazing Louise Sauvage, also from WA, beinginducted into the International Paralympic Hall of Fame in London. Louise, coached by Frank as a junior, has well and truly blazed her ownpathway at international level, and is also now coaching.
As I step down after the privilege and honor of 10 years as President, I wish to sincerely thank all the inspirational athletes, members andamazing volunteers at WSWA.
I thank everyone from the 1992 Board and CEO when I was first involved with the organisation, through to the present team at the helm in2012 with Gary Lees as CEO and the skilled Board. I have great confidence that there is a solid capability to lead the organisation into thenext stage of consolidation, increased profile and community engagement. I wish to sincerely thank and salute Wayne Robins, Simon Terry,Libby Woods, Ashley Morrison, Neil Guard and Ross Glendinning along with Gary Lees for their passion, pride and commitment for WSWA.
The spirit of the members has always been strong, starting with our pioneers and the long and rich history of the organisation, its originsnow almost 60 years ago. We look to an exciting future with all the possibilities and opportunities in 2012 and beyond, but most of all for ourinspirational athletes, who are the reason we exist at all.
