JB was a hero for the different. He always asked about our club and what he could do to help. He is greatly missed.
Today we remember John Baker AM ESM, and the extraordinary legacy he left on Surf Life Saving Australia.
In honour of JB’s unwavering commitment to our movement and his passion for helping members grow and achieve their best, we are proud to announce the John Baker AM ESM Fellowship.
The Fellowship will support the development of future leaders, ensuring JB’s dedication to service, leadership and lifelong learning continues to inspire generations of surf lifesavers.
More details on the John Baker AM ESM Fellowship will be shared soon.
