New Chairman and Board for WARL
David Hobbs was elected onto the Board at the 2010 Annual General Meeting on Monday and was subsequently voted in as the Chairman for 2011.
David has served as a Director for the past six months, filling an available vacant position on the Board and contributing to the marketing and sponsorship areas. He is currently the Chief Executive Officer of the Professionals Group WA & NT. David was also involved with the original launch of the Fremantle Football Club where he was employed for several years developing the Marketing and Sponsorship of the club in its inaugural years. David replaces Terry Creasey in the chair who, while being elected for a further two year term, decided to step down due to business commitments.
The new board line up provides a strong business base for WA Rugby League moving forward in a time where they could oversee the potential of creating a new National Rugby League franchise by 2013. A decision on the expansion of the NRL is expected by the middle of 2011.
Other board directors include:
Paul Bransby, Director of Finance Exchange Australia
Charlie Burkhardt, Director of Westside Group International
Richard Campbell, Director of CMS Events
Terry Creasey, Franchisee Owner of McDonalds Stores
Bruce Havilah, Principal Partner of Havilah Legal
Bradley Hopes, Principal of Brad Hopes Promotions
Sean Somerville, Director of Somerville Accountants and Somerville Corporate
