 Newly Elected Board of Management Member Jenny Wood (left) | 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.
