Richmond Football Club has appointed former Australian Sports Commission chief executive Kate Palmer AM to the Board, filling the vacancy created after Malcolm Speed completed his term as a director.

Palmer, who was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia for services to sport in 2019, brings a wealth of experience to the Board. She chaired the Victorian Institute of Sport (2010 – 2016), served as a Trustee of the Melbourne Cricket Ground Trust (2004 – 2015) and was a member of the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (2010 – 2014).

Prior to her role with the Australian Sports Commission, Palmer spent 10 years as chief executive of Netball Australia, where she was responsible for the governance, development and promotion of netball for 1.2 million national participants.

As long as they are the best candidate it doesnt matter if they are male or female.

Not enough high level football experience on the board for my liking, I guess they rely on the football dept to get it right, makes Benny’s role very important

Sounds like a very high achiever. Good get tiges

How many of them are token appointments though? 

This is a footy club and we have 2 people on a 10 person Board who either played or had any role in the game. Its a massive concern and means we are now heavily reliant on Gale.  If and when he goes we are stuffed.

Gary March is on record saying that in the Clinton Casey era they didn't have anyone on the Board who understood how important recruiting was so we were years behind the other clubs.

You obviously don't understand the roles & responsibilities of the Board or any Board for that matter.

Real neanderthal thinking.

It might be worth you sharing how you think boards work and the way boards are appointed in your experience.
That might help context for your post.

Kate Sheehan will be replacing Benny as CEO at this rate
