New Sharks Chairman
Wednesday, July 01, 2009
Long serving Sharks Chairman Mr Barry Piece has resigned his role at the club and has been replaced by Mr Damian Irvine.
Irvine, who was recently elected to the Sharks Board as Vice Chairman by members, brings passion to the position along with a genuine desire to assist the club to move forward. “I am incredibly privileged to become Chairman of the Sharks,” Irvine said. “
It is a role that is very important and bears much responsibility and I take that responsibility very seriously."I made the decision to stand at the election because I didn’t want to be a sideline critic. I felt I needed to either have a go, or forever hold my peace. “I am a Cronulla Sharks supporter, passionate and totally committed to seeing the club’s best interests are taken care of and to ensuring the best board is in place to provide the Sharks with balance, enthusiasm and experience,” Irvine said.
Amongst the first objectives of Irvine and his new boardroom team was to make a commitment to transparency in all matters relating to both the board and club operations.
Irvine has called a general meeting on August 6 to provide Sharks members with the opportunity to vote to endorse the new board of directors. “I believe it is important during this re-building period for the club that all members have a voice and that it is heard,” Irvine added. Irvine is a company director involved in thoroughbred breeding, property investment, 5-star service consultancy and retail.
The appointment of Irvine continues the Sharks ‘new direction’ following the recent appointments of Chief Executive Officer Richard Fisk and new board members Ricky Surace, Paul Walker and Craig Douglas.
