The constitution provides for the Geelong Umpires and the board of Management to directly appoint a director to the board who may have specific skills that would complement the board’s composition. (Below is the copy of the relevant clause in the constitution) It was unanimous in the board’s decision that we welcome Jenny Wood to the Board of Management for the next two years. |
For members who were not at our AGM last month, Jenny is the mother of first year boundary umpire Mason. Jenny is currently employed with the Colac Otway Shire as the manager for Council Governance and has had previous roles with the TAC in Government relations, Legislation and Policy Development. Jenny has been actively involved with the Torquay Junior Football Division as the Operations Manager, Team Manager and Executive member of the Torquay Football Club committee for the past 4 years. Last year Jenny was nominated by AFL Barwon as administrator of the year.
We are very excited to welcome both Reece and Jenny to the Board of Management.
