Paddy Flood, Chairman of the Officer Development Committee said, “As we know, the heart and soul of the GAA is the Club and good Club Officers are a vital part of the Association. This is your chance to make a difference in your local club by getting the training designed specifically to improve your understanding of your role.

 

“The Club Leadership Development Programme has proved a great success throughout the years and with over 8,000 attendees at courses in 2021, Clubs, Officers and the local Community have benefitted hugely from these events in the past.
