        The top three items the group in attendance at the meeting suggested to prioritise to unite the RG Community were: 
            1.    Improvement of the judging and the judging process. 
            2.    Improvement on the communication between SG, the National Office, and Technical Advisory Council 
            3.    The promotion of the Code of Honours to ensure it is imbedded into the community and forms part of the culture.

The Board have deferred items 1 and 2 to the RG Technical Advisory Council (TAC). The Board will look to discuss and work on strategies for item 3 at follow up meetings.

The Board discussed and approved the new organisational structure which will see both the General Manager and the High-Performance Director reporting directly to the Board. The new structure, approved and supported by SportSG, will     allow SG to have better and targeted focus on both operational excellence and high performance; and ensure that SG can deliver on the Strategic Plan.

8.    The Board reviewed the financial model for the 2023 Asian Championships which is linked to the amount of funding that will be received from SportSG.
