Opinion Running for the board

Hi

I've had a few people ask about running for the board. So instead of sending the same message privately, here is the information.

Surprisingly the club sends out notification to run, you fill it out. They cant stop you.

When i ran i met KO and KT after putting in a small CV.

Obviously they are there to gauge your professionalism and experience, what you would contribute. They knew about the podcast etc I had active board experience which assisted with a NFP.

Applicants go into a same pages selection process, so I didnt find marketing that pages being to beneficial.as its marketing all runners.

Obviously bogfoot support, the podcast followers really supported me, forever greatful. I got 22% of the votes. THEILE got 45 i think, but my skew was enough to have them impressed or worried. I suspect like alotmof boards the members would do the calling to influence their member contacts who to vote for.

As my % of vote was significant They offered me a spot on the marketing committee with some other external advisors with employees and 2 board members. Cardone ended up shutting it down, shame.

Running against a former player would be tough IMO as they would be the shiny toy to a kid. Around 3,000 members voted in mine, I think last year got 10k.

All the best and good luck

Sorry not wearing my glasses and you guys can work it out

I wonder how many votes each BigFooty poster could muster if there was a candidate with a pitch of regaining member control.

Of course the candidate could never actually force it to happen given the board structure, but if the vote was essentially made a referendum on regaining member control it could perhaps be our way to send a strong signal to the PAFC and the AFL.
 
For anyone considering, if everything else is even Im gonna vote for the BF member. Would be valuable to have someone on there who could post on here. I suspect most would agree.

Irrespective of who gets elected, engagement by the elected directors with the members needs to improve. Right now communication on a mass scale is zilch.

Probably the most astute person here when it comes to club business operations. Does he want to give up his anonymity and also his input on the forum as he would have to agree to an club imposed NDA.
I seem to recall some time back that he wasn't too interested in running, for a couple of legitimate reasons.

Probably not smart to try and railroad him into running if he has reservations.
