Robert Manning for Sailors Bay
ABOUT
I have a deep desire to serve my community.
Perhaps driven by the inspiration of my Grandmother, I have coached junior football with the Willoughby Wildcats Junior Football Club. I have assisted in Red Cross Door Knock Appeals and volunteered my services to help local, state and federal candidates in their campaigns.
I am results driven and have developed significant experience in business. I also have demonstrated ability to be hands on at the coal face to make a business successful.
As a leader and a business visionary I am able to set the direction, lead by example and deliver on objectives for key stakeholders. I have excellent business collaboration prowess in aligning business units and diverse stakeholder challenges to successful outcomes.
I understand the Council processes having attended many Council Meetings over the past 8 years dealing with a development application that saw Council support the residents in opposing a poorly located development. I have extensive experience in managing stakeholder expectations and I have a very good knowledge of Committee Management, Contract Management and Workflow Management processes necessary to be a good Ward Councillor.
Rob with Joe Hockey
