The Board is proud to announce the appointment of two new director; Maria Wizbicki from the Macquarie Marauders and James Mortenson of the Newcastle Fireballs. Maria is no stranger to the board having been an executive in 2014. She will continue on her work with the AQA’s marketing portfolio. James, as a certified head referee and a training coordinator for the IRDP has proposed a new referee training initiative. I’m sure we are all looking forward to see what these two can bring this year.

On a second note, the staff position of Director of Membership Services has since been absorbed and the responsibilities will be undertaken by Hannah Monty as Vice President and Emma Morris as Treasurer, effective immediately. We would like to thank Luke Derrick for his time and contribution in his role as Director of Membership Services during a year of many changes.
