A new 6 member Board has been established following an historic first Special General Meeting of the SEFNL held last night.
Kahl Heinze, Silvio Marinelli, Damien McKenna, Gerard Kelly and Cliff Donegan, along with League Manager Liz Triffitt make up the new Board which will oversee the future direction of the league and its member clubs.
The SGM also provided the opportunity to ratify the League's By-Laws for 2015 and for the AFL South East Commission to step down as caretaker manager of the SEFNL.
Here is brief snapshot of the newly created Board:
Kahl Heinze - former Narre Warren President, Kahl has been the official spokesperson for the clubs throughout the process of withdrawal from the MPNFL and has also been a leading figure in the interaction of presidents over the past two years. Kahl is currently the State Manager for the TNT Group.
Silvio Marinelli - a partner in accounting firm Highview Accounting, Silvio has had a long history of involvement in community sport. Current Treasurer of the Cranbourne Turf Club, Silvio brings a wealth of financial expertise to the SEFNL along with his passion for the development of the sport
Damien McKenna - a partner with Simon & Duffy Lawyers in Pakenham, Damien not only brings his legal expertise to the table but also as a member of the well know McKenna family, a wealth of local football knowledge and involvement with it. Damien played senior football at Pakenham and TAC Cup at Gippsland Power.
Cliff Donegan - Cliff was appointed to the MPNFL Board in 2014 to provide greater focus and attention on the needs of the Casey Cardinia FNL and its member clubs. Cliff has had a long history of involvement with the league and in particular the Berwick FNC (54 years) and was keen to continue to serve SEFNL clubs.
Gerard Kelly - The former President of the Cranbourne FNC, "Gerry" is well-known in local football circles. A self- employed primary producer, Gerry has achieved significant outcomes over the years for the CFNC through business relationships, dealings with council and club stakeholders.
The Board of the SEFNL will convene in coming weeks to elect a Chairman.
