Netball great Liz Ellis, an outspoken critic of Netball Australia for its handling of a series of off-court dramas, has been appointed to its board.
“As a former Diamonds captain, I cannot believe that the governing body of the sport I love would treat its Diamonds ambassadors for netball with such callous regard,”“This is not the end point where we go ‘OK, everything’s fixed let’s get Liz on the board, let’s get a CEO’ … there are deep scars from the last couple of years and I think there’s a lot of work to be done.
“Like all members of the board, Liz is passionate about netball, both on court and off, and brings significant leadership skills as well as a breadth of knowledge gained from her post-career roles in broadcast and business,” Archer said. Netball Australia chair Archer and deputy chair John O’Sullivan also announced their resignations this year. Archer will remain on the board and see out the remainder of her tenure until 2025.Asked whether she would be interested in chairing the board, Ellis did not dismiss the idea but said she would need to wait and “see how that plays out”.
