read moreThe Australian Sports Foundation (ASF) has today announced the appointment of three new Directors to their Board, as well as the re-appointment of an existing Director.
The three-year appointment of the four Directors to the Australian Sports Foundation Board is envisaged to help drive innovation and sound governance.
The Australian Sports Foundation has raised almost $700 million for grassroots sports, schools, athletes and national sports since 1986 through online fundraising and community sport grant rounds.
ASF Chair Grant O’Brien and current Board members, Kim Brennan AM OLY, Andrew Baildon OLY and Gail Miller OAM OLY, are joined by:
O’Brien said he was thrilled with the new appointments to the board at such a critical time for Australian sport and enthused “the appointment of Lisa Cotton, David Lemphers and Jason Titman to the board will add exceptional new skills, experience and ideas as we support and advise the ASF with its continued work to increase philanthropic giving to clubs, athletes and sporting organisations.”
O’Brien added "after joining our Board as a Director in 2018, we would also like to say farewell to Olympic gold medallist Gail Miller OAM, and extend our sincere gratitude for her contributions to the ASF. Her representation of athlete interests both at the grassroots and elite level, and her deep understanding of the sport sector when combined with outstanding business expertise and experience have played an important role in the growth and success of the ASF.”
Federal Minister for Sport, Anika Wells noted “these appointments will help drive innovation and sound governance to ensure the Australian Sports Foundation can continue its excellent work growing fundraising and philanthropic donations for the Australian sports community.
“The Foundation’s fundraising support for athletes and community clubs helps to make sport accessible to Australians.
“This is particularly important in the green and gold decade, which culminates in the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games as we nurture tomorrow’s champions today.”
