Finalist for the NSW Rotary Community Award, Nov 2015:
Snr Cst WENDY HUDSON – Mid North Coast LAC
A police officer for 25 years, Snr Cst Wendy Hudson has been a leader of her local community as a member of the Kendall Tennis Club for more than three decades. Club president since 2008, she has held many organiser roles and volunteered for up to 25 hours a week for the past 20 years.
The relationships she has forged through the club, which has nearly 300 members in a town of 1150, proved invaluable for police following the disappearance of local boy William Tyrell, contributing to the immediate and significant numbers of volunteers who have joined the search for the young child.
Snr Cst Hudson has been a youth liaison officer at Mid North Coast LAC since 2005 and piloted the Your Choice program, which targets underage drinking.
This year, she was named Community Sport Administrator of the Year by Sport NSW for her continuing contribution to junior tennis, and a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Foundation.
