CEO Paula Ward moves onto next chapter | ||
After two and a half years leading Equestrian Australia (EA) Paula Ward is expecting her first child. Consequently she will be leaving EA at the end of June when her current contract expires. EA will now commence the search for a new Chief Executive Officer. In her time at EA, Paula has played a critical role in the ongoing development and success of the EA business. Along with the support of her team, Paula has been responsible for many significant achievements which include: • EA’s first Community and Economic Impact Survey in October 2016 which revealed the contribution of equestrian sport to Australia is $1.143B; Of particular note, following the two devastating in-competition fatalities in 2016, Paula has guided the sport through a difficult and challenging time. She oversaw the agreement to instigate the EA Making Eventing Safer Fund which came from the generous donation of Terry Snow. This safety fund has enabled the employment of EA’s first National Safety Officer and the subsequent implementation of frangible devices across the country to reduce risk and optimise the welfare of our horses and the safety of our riders. Paula will remain with us until 30th June 2018. In the meantime, it is our priority to find the best candidate to lead Equestrian Australia. The Australian Sports Commission will be assisting EA in the recruitment of the new CEO. Full details of the position description and the recruitment process will be available on the EA website very soon. The Board sincerely thanks Paula for her commitment and hard work over the period as CEO and wishes her well in her new endeavours.
