The 2019 Triathlon Young Women Leadership Program was developed by Triathlon ACT and key female leaders within the sport, seeking to convert the sport’s record in female participation to a stronger reflection at the Board table. Twenty-eight women aged 16-39, were selected for the five-month program, a program aimed at enhancing leadership opportunities, education and individual confidence. By 2023 the sport is aiming to ensure that females occupy 50% of leadership roles within local clubs and Triathlon ACT.
