It’s been a successful season in the hot seat for Cudgen Headland’s Jenny Kenny, who has held senior officiating roles at Branch, State, and National level throughout the 2017/18 season.
Last weekend she was acknowledged for her outstanding dedication and professionalism by being crowned the Official of the Year at the Awards of Excellence in Sydney.
Some of the roles she performed this season include Chief Judge, Open Male Area Referee, Deputy Carnival Referee and Carnival Referee at Branch, State (both the NSW and QLD) and National Championships.
Arguably her season highlight was becoming the first woman to be appointed as referee of the Australian Interstate Championships in South Australia earlier this year.
In additions to her achievements as an active official, Jenny plays a key role as a mentor, and has provided advice and feedback on developing a senior official’s course.
Her influence will continue to be felt far beyond the beach and this is a deserved award for someone who plays a key role in ensuring surf sport events everywhere continue to run smoothly.
