Purpose

• Ask questions and challenge views of committee members openly and respectfully

• Declare any conflicts of interest as they arrive and act to ensure that these conflicts don't pose a risk to VicTennis

• Always look for opportunities for improved performance of the Club operations and Committee functions
• Not speak to the media about any aspect of VicTennis that could damage our reputation
