BORONIA HAWKS FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB INC.
Senior Men's & Women's Football and Netball, Junior Boys & Girls Football, Auskick and over 35's Veterans and Masters Football. Affiliated with EFNL. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the land in Boronia.
Boronia Hawks FNC is very fortunate to have many great people who are willing to volunteer for offical roles on our Board of Directors, Senior Committee and Junior Committee. We express our gratitude to all these volunteers who will be leading the club forward in 2025. We also wish to thank Veronica Rankin and David Nicholas, who are now stepping down from board roles, for their past contributions.
Kat McMahon stepped down as Chair of the Club’s Board of Directors at the recent AGM. We all wish to express our thanks to Kat for the important work she helped to deliver for the club.
Kat’s expertise was essential in the roll-out of our Square project including the IT hardware, the new online store and the associated upgrade of our comm’s network at Tormore with Your Local Telecom. Kat also played a key role in the review of our club branding and the resultant partnership with Your Clubroom to deliver our very successful new range of club apparel and merchandise.
Though she has retired from netball and footy with the Hawka, Kat played an important support role in the Women’s Senior Team as the Premiership Statistician! She rounded off the season by managing the very successful hosting of the Division 1 Men’s Finals Series at Tormore.
Please join us all in thanking Kat for her contribution to the club.
Congratulations and thank you to the members of the Club who were elected to the Board of Directors at the AGM. We welcome club legend and Life Member David Murrihy to the Club’s board.
There has been a couple of changes with the Club’s Board of Directors.
Firstly, we farewell Kerryn Westcott, Director of Community & Inclusion. Kerryn is stepping down from the board to focus on her many other volunteer roles. Kerryn has done a phenomenal amount of work for the club, sourcing every grant possible to improve our facilities and offer more to our community. She will be sorely missed but we wish her all the best.
Secondly, we welcome Veronica Rankin into the role of Director of Administration for 2023. Veronica is no stranger to the club, her son has played in our junior ranks and now a member of our Men’s program. Veronica has been a past under 19s Team Manager, one of the most organised, so we are so pleased to have her leading the charge in all things admin this year. Tanya Parkins will step in one last time helping us get Veronica up to speed, we thank her again for her support.
We are still on the hunt for a Director of Finance – if you or you know someone who is interested please reach out to Kat McMahon akathleen@me.com
At this stage, we won’t formally replace the Director of Community & Inclusion, however if this role is of interest to you please also reach out.
Chairperson, Kat McMahon
Boronia Hawks are very pleased to announce that JACQUI PHILLIPS has joined the Club’s Board of Directors in the new role of Director of Communications.
Jacqui plays both football and netball with Boronia Hawks and has extensive experience that will bring a new vision and approach to our communications channels.
Please join us all in congratulating Jax in accepting this important leadership role with the Hawks.
The Club’s Board of Directors got together on Sunday morning to develop our strategic action plan as we move towards the resumption of competition in 2021.
There was lots of ideas as we went through many important initiatives including junior development, child safety regulations, facilities plans for Tormore & Millers, memberships, website upgrade, merchandising, events and budgets!
Great work team! Thanks to the Knox Club for hosting us for the day.
