Tennis SA has elected two new female directors to the Board. Dr Alice Clark and Debbie Sterrey were elected to the positions on Monday night and will officially join the Tennis SA Board on 1 July 2018.
“I am thrilled to accept this position on the Tennis SA Board,” said Dr Clark.
“I am looking forward to getting involved and working with the Tennis SA Board, staff, associations and clubs to continue to move the sport in the right direction.”
“I am really excited to accept this position on the Tennis SA Board,” said Ms Sterrey.
“I have been involved in tennis in a variety of roles and I am looking forward to being able to give back to the sport that has given me so much joy in the past.”
The addition of Clark and Sterrey brings the Tennis SA Board in line with the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing’s aspirations that state sporting organisation boards include a minimum of 40 per cent women and 40 per cent men, with the remaining 20 per cent to be discretionary.
Monday night also saw Tennis SA Board Director of 18 years, Neville Messenger, re-elected, while outgoing Board Director Rick Baldock was thanked for his 14 years of service.
During his time on the Tennis SA Board, Baldock was the Chairperson of the Ken McGregor Foundation and served on a number of committees, including Player Development and Participation.
Baldock has also been an integral part of the Australian Hardcourt Championships, Rio Tennis International and Davis Cup events for over 22 years.
“Rick has made an outstanding contribution to tennis in South Australia,” said Tennis SA CEO Steven Baldas.
“Rick’s commitment as a player, volunteer and administrator, as well as his experience in the education sector, has made him a fantastic member of the Tennis SA Board,”
“I would like to congratulate Alice, Debbie and Neville and look forward to working with the new Tennis SA Board moving forward.”
