About Bruce G. Wood Oam

I retired in 2022 after a lengthy career in managerial roles across a diverse range of industries administered by the Commonwealth and/or NSW Governments. My public sector career gave me wide-ranging experiences and allowed me to develop a unique combination of skills, which I apply when successfully managing programs in my new work environment and in my outside sporting interests.I am committed to developing youth through the wonderful opportunities created by organised sport and other healthy lifestyles, with cricket being my main passion.I am the inaugural President of Sydney’s first (and largest) District Cricket Coaches’ Association (HKHDCCA) [linkedin.com/company/hkhdcca], (established in 2010), which is a highly respected, not-for-profit sporting organisation responsible for recruiting and accrediting young volunteer coaches in north-western Sydney. HKHDCCA also implements a broad range of coaching initiatives aimed at increasing the cricket participation, skills and enjoyment of boys and girls aged between 5 and 15, including beginners, club players, representative standard players, disadvantaged groups, and children with special needs.I was the inaugural President of the Australia–India Women's Cricket Association (AIWCA) Inc. [linkedin.com/company/aiwca23] in 2023-24, which is an innovative, not-for-profit sporting organisation that provides opportunities for Australian female cricketers of Indian descent (and others) to play high level representative cricket in Australia and on overseas tours.AIWCA provides exemplary leadership and networking in the Australia–India women’s cricket community, and fosters cricket development, especially at the more advanced levels of the female game.AIWCA is run by a dedicated committee of volunteers, experienced coaches and mentors, and plans to select an Open age group squad, an U/18 squad, and also support younger female teams / players.AIWCA is based in Sydney, NSW, with networks in the other Australian States, as well as in India.
