New AFLUA leadership group gets down to work
Brett Rosebury will lead the association again in 2020 following the AGM in February. The 2019 executive committee determined that the executive needed more support given the influx of AFLW members and the increasing pressure on the administration. The position of Vice President was re-introduced and the Association constitution amended to include the position. Former goal umpire’s rep, Adam Wojcik was appointed to the position. Adam’s portfolio will be to focus on the internal operations of the administration and AFLW members. He will also be a significant support to Brett in his role as President.
