Essendon Football Club will hold a Members Forum to provide an opportunity for members to help shape the future direction of the Club.

The forum, to be held at Etihad Stadium in October, will also be an opportunity for members to meet the new senior coach, for the Club’s leaders to provide an overview of the Club’s new strategic vision, review the 2015 season and discuss other relevant matters.

Chairman, Paul Little, is encouraging members to attend and be a part of the conversation.

“It’s vital we continue to listen and connect with our members – we value their feedback and this is a great opportunity for open and transparent dialogue,” Little said.

“Our members have been incredibly loyal and passionate through an extremely challenging period and we are truly grateful for their ongoing support, and the forum will provide us with a valuable opportunity to listen and discuss ways we can improve our football club together.”

In addition to a review of team performance in 2015, the Club’s leaders will outline future planning for the football program, list management, as well as an update on the current WADA appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

“I have no doubt we are all united in the view that we want a strong and successful EFC both on and off the field,” Little said.

“Our vision is to be the most respected, inclusive and successful football club in Australia and we recognise we have a lot of hard work ahead of us.”

The Essendon Football Club Members Forum will be held on October 29 2015 at Etihad Stadium at 7pm.

For those unable to attend, the Forum will be streamed live via the Club website. 

The Member Forum is a member only event – please register your attendance here.
