Waverley Little Athletics Centre Inc.

Shirley Desa

Shirley Desa is the Centre Mentor of the Waverley Little Athletics Centre Inc. She has been involved at the Centre for 5 years and has been a member of the Committee for 3 ½ years, taking over as Treasurer half way through the 2017/18 season.

In charge of the Centre’s finances, Shirley sets our budget, handles our profit & loss and balance sheets, banking requirements and ensures we remain compliant with Consumer Affairs and LAVic. We are a non-profit organisation but thanks to Shirley and former Treasurers, we are in a very healthy position.

On a weekly basis, Shirley organises the canteen float money, assists in running the canteen and administration and on a Saturday is out on the track as an official, currently the U7 Age Group Leader.

Shirley is a positive contributor to Centre, has an accounting background, is very well organised and is perfectly suited as our Treasurer. She manages her commitment as well as raising two young children.
