AFLNEB Management Announcement

AFLNEB Management Announcement

On behalf of the AFL North East Border Commission, we wish everyone a happy new year and look forward to a more prosperous 2021 after the cancellation of football and netball in 2020.

It is important that as individuals and communities we continue to adhere to COVID safe practices to best ensure an environment in which both football and netball can return in 2021. As an organisation, we remain positive and excited about the season and despite the challenges the pandemic has presented, AFLNEB is well positioned to support the game into the future.

Whilst the season didn’t proceed in 2020, it has provided an opportunity to examine the organisations structure and its strategic focus as we look to reboot following the severe impacts of COVID with an emphasis on consolidation, participation and retention.

AFLNEB staff will be returning to work on a full-time basis and pleasingly, we have retained all of our team which is of huge benefit as the individual and collective experiences will be invaluable. Whilst staff are returning, access to both the Wodonga and Wangaratta offices will be limited and any face to face contact required with any staff member should be by arrangement.

Pending a recruitment process, Zac Guilfoyle has been seconded into the role of Region Manager commencing Tuesday January 12th, 2021. Zac has worked in community football in the North East Border Region for 12 years and has well developed relationships and has extensive experience including League Management and most recently as Lead Football Development Manager (FDM) for the Region.

As Region Manager, Zac Guilfoyle can be contacted at zac.guilfoyle@afl.com.au or 0424 918 912.

Existing FDM, Zac Hedin, will now assume Lead responsibilities in Game Development activities across the entire North East Border Region with all enquiries on participation programs and opportunities to be directed to zac.hedin@afl.com.au or 0439 657 013.

Again, we remain positive about the prospects of a return to play in 2021 and encourage everyone to continue to be COVID safe and collectively, encourage others to get involved and support community sport in its return.

Lead Your Way 2025

By Zac Hedin • December 3, 2024

The Lead Your Way Program is back, giving women and gender-diverse people volunteering in community football leadership the opportunity to level up their skills and network. If you're a current committee-level volunteer at a community football club in our Metropolitan Leagues or Country Regions, this program is for you! Bronwyn McGorlick from the Wangaratta Rovers Female Football Club was a participant in 2024 and had this to say about the program - "It's been really great to connect with all the other leaders involved in footy. Sometimes you can be involved in your won club and not realise that there is this massive network of people out there, so I think that's been the best thing about it".
