Can't seem to find a 2018 thread for the Pres. I know we have a thread for the Ceo.
If anyone can find it, let me know & I will merge it.
Dear Aphrodite,
As a valued member of our Club, I am pleased to inform you first this evening, that two of Australia’s leading business professionals, Patty Kinnersly and David Campbell, will join the Carlton Football Club Board of Directors this year.
Executive Deputy Chairman of Spotlight Group, Zac Fried, will retire from the Board at the conclusion of the season, while Australian Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Kate Jenkins, has tendered her resignation and will finish in her role as Director following the July Board meeting.
The independent nominations committee has recommended to the Board that Patty Kinnersly be appointed as a Director of the Club with Zac Fried’s impending retirement, while the Board also accepted the recommendation of the committee in the appointment of David Campbell following the casual vacancy made by Kate Jenkins’ departure.
We reluctantly accepted but understood Kate’s decision to move on from her position as Board Member of the Club, due to her increasing commitments and travel requirements as Australian Sex Discrimination Commissioner. Kate was instrumental in the establishment of our AFLW program, and more recently our VFLW program, as well as her drive and guidance in establishing our Carlton Respects initiative back in 2016. Her passion for a united approach across the organisation should be widely commended, and her extensive experience in the areas of law, governance, community and diversity has been a wonderful asset for our football club.
After 12 years of service as a Director, Zac will retire at the end of the season. Having been instrumental in leading the brand and marketing committee, Zac has also guided the Club through a number of challenging times during his tenure. His commitment and the manner in which he has approached driving the Carlton Football Club forward has been significant.
On a personal note, I would like to take this opportunity to thank both Kate and Zac for their significant and wide-ranging contributions to our Club. They will always remain part of the Carlton Football Club family.
The appointments of both Patty and David to our Board reflect our continued commitment to good governance and to building a skills-based Board aligned to the needs of the Club. Reflecting our significant investment in women’s football, Patty will make history by becoming our first designated Board member to manage the AFLW/VFLW programs, working closely with fellow director Chris Judd across the Club’s football programs. We believe this is an incredibly strong appointment for our Board in strengthening our commitment to women’s football.
Patty is currently Chief Executive Officer of Our Watch, a national organisation driving change in cultures, attitudes and behaviours against domestic violence. With her insight and guidance, she will continue to enhance the work of our Club’s flagship community program in Carlton Respects, as well as our community and diversity programs more broadly. Alongside an extensive corporate career in senior roles across the health sector and over a decade of governance experience, Patty has 14 years of playing experience in the VWFL for the Ballarat Lions, Fairfield Falcons and Parkside Magpies, playing in five premierships and representing Victoria on 10 occasions, twice as captain.
Similarly, the appointment of David provides the Club with the expertise to continue our pursuit to become one of Australia’s sporting employers of choice by appointing quality people in the right roles and improving leadership and culture both on and off the field. David has already established strong relationships with the Carlton Football Club as an external contributor since 2015, playing a significant role in the appointments of both senior coach Brendon Bolton and Chief Executive Officer Cain Liddle, along with other key executives in recent years.
In his role as Director and Partner at Egon Zehnder International, David boasts extensive knowledge and experience relating to organisational culture and leadership and will superbly lead our refreshed People and Culture portfolio to assist in the continuing cultural shift and talent development of our proud football club.
As we continue to improve and modernise the Carlton Football Club across all facets of the organisation, we know the impending appointments of Patty and David will be very strong additions in assisting to take this Club forward, towards our next period of success both on and off the field.
David will commence his position at the end of July, while Patty will officially join the Board at the end of the season.
Go Blues!
Yours sincerely,
Mark LoGiudice
