On behalf of Harvard Club of Victoria and Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs Australia, I would like to invite you and your network to hear from a panel of leading sports administrators who have agreed, under Chatham House Rules, to speak about two key issues affecting the direction and public face of sport in Australia.
The panel will explore the topics of leadership and innovation and how they have changed or remained the same pre and post lockdowns. Exploring the dynamic landscape of domestic and international growth and leadership, and sharing their insights into areas of controversy, are representatives of Australia’s major sporting industry:
The Panel comprises
- Raelene Castle – Raelene joined Rugby Australia as the code’s first female Chief Executive Officer, beginning in the role in January 2018 until April 2020.
- Mark Evans – Mark is an experienced international sports administrator who is currently the CEO at Global Rapid Rugby and Western Force.
- Gerard Griffin – Gerard Griffin is the CEO of the Kardinia Park Stadium Trust, which manages the operations and events at GMHBA Stadium in Geelong.
- Tracey Holmes – Tracey is an internationally recognised broadcast journalist and anchor of both news/current affairs and sports programs.
- Tom Parker – Tom is a China specialist with a focus on collaboration between Australia and China to broaden the bi-lateral relationship.
- Spencer Kassimir (OPM 48) will be returning to moderate this year’s discussion. Spencer is a co-founder of HAE Australia who graduated from HBS’s OPM 48 program.
Join us for what promises to be a thought-provoking exchange of views, as some of our most influential sports administrators lead us through some very topical territory!
