One of our members has received one of the highest
international accolades awarded by the International Life Saving Federation.
Peter George AM was made a Knight in the Order of
Lifesaving at the World Conference for Drowning Prevention being held in
Penang. Peter, one of Surf Life Saving Australia’s longest serving members, became the third Surf Life Saving
recipient of the prestigious award.
“I feel very proud to receive this honour. I do it
because I love it, never for the recognition, but it is always nice to be
recognised,” Peter said.“I have been a lifesaver for almost 50 years and to
receive this international honour now means I have been recognised at every
level, which is very humbling.”
Peter is currently the General Manager of Corporate
Service for Surf Life Saving Australia. He is a former national Director of
Lifesaving and, of course, AGC’s Chief Financial Officer.
Congratulations Peter!
