The Swannies new look 2013 National Committee has been confirmed. And how about the room!
The Saigon and Hanoi Committees confirmed the last two remaining positions on the 2013 National Committee.
The National Committee comprises six members. The first four are automatic appointments (with the current holders of those positions in brackets):
- Saigon President (Nick Shiells)
- Hanoi President (Daniel Hopkins)
- Hanoi Coach (David Skowronski)
- Saigon Coach (Andy Glendinning)
In addition, there are two elected positions – elected by the Hanoi and Saigon Committees; namely:
- National President
- National Treasurer
Phil Johns and Rowan Luke were elected unopposed to the positions of National President and National Treasurer.
Speaking afterwards, Saigon Committee Member, Billy Crang said:
“Congrats to Fabbo (Phil Johns) on the re-election. I really did push some people to run against him for controversy’s sake but like Rudd they were just too scared of the red-head.
“I would like to thank Rowan also. The difference he makes to the Club on the Treasurer/finances side is fairly clear, even to those who aren’t actively involved in that area. But the overall input to the Club is totally priceless, especially as he doesn’t sit within the player group per se.
Rowan is able to offer perspectives from a different angle that gives so much more insight that can enable quick, measured and relevant responses. These inputs should, in the long term, help to preserve both our momentum and also the great value the Club brings so many individuals.
“Thanks Rowan and Fabbo and looking forward to 2013!”
