Mandurah Surf Life Saving Club member Monica Reinhardt spent seven days sharpening her leadership skills in Sydney earlier this month. Earmarked as one of the sectors brightest up-and-comers, Ms Reinhardt was one of the just 23 participants from around the country to attend Surf Life Saving Australia's annual leadership college. The program aims to provide future leaders with the skills, support and knowledge to enable them to reach their leadership potential. The Mandurah Surf Life Saving Club committee member was the only WA-based participant to attend the program, which involved a range of leadership initiatives and guest speakers. "I got so much out of it," Ms Reinhardt said. "It opened my eyes to so much about leadership and different ways to approach how you can be a leader. "So now I can bring those things back to our club here in Mandurah and hopefully implement them in my roles here." Currently a patrol captain with Mandurah, Ms Reinhardt also holds roles in the education and surf sports sectors of the club. She's been a member of the club since undertaking her bronze medallion evaluation there some years ago, and is currently in her sixth season as part of the committee. "This place, and the people in it, they're like my second home and my second family," she said. "I actually got into [surf life saving] just because I love the ocean, and it seemed like a good way to spend some time down at the beach. "But it's been so rewarding since. The patrols can be good fun and getting to see the young nippers progress through the ranks is awesome. "So to be able to head over to Sydney and pick up a bunch of ways I can help the club is pretty special for me."
