The North Geelong Warriors Football Club held their Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 11 October.
The new reporting year will see a different configuration of faces heading the club, with Tom Pausak taking over from Tom Trupkovic as President. Aaron Bailey takes on additional responsibility as Vice President; Andela Cicak joins as Treasurer, and Mary Ljubicic will remain in the Secretary position. Stipe Kump joins as the Female Football Operations Manager whilst Vlado Dzajkic takes on a general board role.
Our whole-hearted thanks are given to retiring board members Tom Trupkovic, Josip Zilic, Rosemary Zilic, Ivica Volarevic, Andro Jurkovic, Maria Spehar and Anne-Marie Simic. We know that volunteers do not necessarily have time, but they have passion to give and each of our retiring board members has given to this club in spades.
The assembled members heard football operations reports from Andro Jurkovic, Aaron Bailey, Maria Spehar, Anne-Marie Simic and Tom Pausak. Kruno Madjeric spoke to grants and infrastructure before a comprehensive written financial report was tabled and explained by Rose Zilic.
Outgoing President Tom Trupkovic delivered his final address as President, speaking of the numerous achievements of the club on and off the pitch, and his belief that we are well-positioned for success in the future. These thoughts were echoed by Tom Pausak in his first speech as President when he said “the future is bright at North.”
The board for 2023-24 are:
Tom Pausak (President)
Aaron Bailey (Vice President)
Mary Ljubicic (Secretary)
Andjela Cicak (Treasurer)
Stipe Kump (Football Operations – Female Football)
Vlado Dzajkic (General Board Member)
