Athletes First. Always.

Interestingly, Triathlon Australia have announced Board Member vacancies this year….

Everyone who cares about triathlon please apply. Let’s see how transparent this process is.....I encourage everyone to apply. Link to TA website is here.

For those interested (and quoted from Triathlon Australia) -

Triathlon Australia (TA) is a national sporting organisation with the purpose of enabling more people to enjoy more triathlon and multisport experiences in more places. Our vision is to create a happier, healthier and more connected nation through these experiences. Triathlon Australia has three strategic priorities:

  • A sport for everyone

  • Winning when it matters

  • Working in harmony

Please ensure you add to the strategic pillar 'Athletes First. Always' if you do manage to become a board member… (Because then the three strategic pillars Triathlon Australia have identified above will be achievable).

On the subject of new board members, interestingly, interim Collingwood AFL President has made some clear statements of intent and changes - something that should be adopted by TA. Among other amendments to its constitution, Korda said the club plans to limit the maximum tenure for directors to nine years and for club presidents to six years. Four current board members will be up for election at the club’s annual general meeting on December 16:

“This is to ensure that as we enter season 2022 all of the current board of seven will have been elected by members,” Korda explained.

“This validation is important. Directors are accountable to the members and their mandate comes from being elected by them.”

.......imagine that Triathlon Australia - recognising members have a voice...

Then again, we all know Triathlon Australia needs a full and independent review, more than just a few new board members...
