Dear member,
As a 2023 member you are eligible to vote in the 2023 Essendon Football Club Board Election.
Following the conclusion of the nomination process, the club has received three nominations for the two positions available on the Board. In accordance with the Constitution of the Essendon Football Club, an election is required to determine these positions.
The profiles of the three candidates can be found at this link.
The Board encourages all members to vote in the upcoming election and believes a fair and democratic process where all candidates are respected is critical to a member-based club like ours.
For the club to continue to progress, we require stability, continuity, and unity at all levels. We have worked hard to make the changes required for the future, including what we think is the best Board to take this great club forward.
The Board is united and everything we do is in the long-term interests of the Essendon Football Club. That includes a focus on ensuring that revenue generation and investment in major projects like Windy Hill and our high-performance facilities at the NEC Hangar allow the club to continue building success.
We will continue to drive the best results for our club and its members.
But, as always, this is a members’ club, and you will decide.
As a club, we still have a long way to go, but having a united and committed club is critical. We’re optimistic about the future and bringing success back to Essendon.
CorpVote Pty Ltd is independently conducting this voting process. They have been appointed by the club to protect your privacy and ensure a fair voting process. Voting instructions and information will be sent to you by CorpVote, and all votes are submitted via their secure system. This is a secret ballot process. The order of candidates as they appear on the ballot paper and on the candidate profiles page has been determined by lot by the Deputy Returning Officer.
The two candidates with the highest number of votes cast will be elected. The result will be declared at the 2023 Essendon Football Club Annual General Meeting on Monday, December 18 2023.
Voting will open at 9am AEDT Friday, December 1, 2023 and close at 5pm AEDT Friday, December 15, 2023.
The club requires stability, unity, and strong leadership at Board level.
We have made significant progress, and we look forward to continuing to build upon these strong foundations to create a club that all our members and supporters are proud of.
I encourage all our members to vote in the process and wish each candidate the best of luck.
Go Bombers,
Dave Barham
