Peggy O'Neal interview in the Good Weekend (Age)

[WilliamPowell]

Just to be clear here

The constitution was changed in 2013 that meant all directors cannot serve more than 9 years on the RFC board

Peggy cannot remain on the board because her 9 year term since that constitutional change is up this year. So she has to stand down not only from the presidency but the board as well.

Thanks WP.

Benny Gale is listed as a member of the board on the RFC website. Any reason that same rule doesn’t apply to him?

Executive Director, non voting director so it is a different role

Again a constitutional change that allows the Club CEO to sit on the board in q non voting capacity

For memory that change was was only made in the last 4-5 years

That

CEO is usually a board member, at least outside of footy. The rest of the board will be non-executive directors and he will update them on the management of the club by the executive. Something like that.

So going back to your first response. Would that 9 year limit make the current board members less appealing presidency candidates? For example any of the longer serving members (i.e 5+ years), their presidency would be limited to a max of a few years at the helm.

I wouldn't think so

There is a lot of talent currently on the board.

And I've got no doubt whoever comes on this year will bring more talent, further skills

Our board is strong, united. We are in a very good place.
