AFL Barwon Region General Manager Edward Wilson will step down from the role on March 26 to take up a position as Motorcycling Victoria’s chief executive officer.
Mr Wilson commenced as Regional Manager of AFL Barwon in 2022 during a difficult time post the COVID-19 disruption to the industry and worked swiftly and enthusiastically to lead and settle the AFL Barwon Region.
During his tenure he has been instrumental in driving key initiatives and improvements across the region, working closely with the AFL Barwon Commission to achieve significant outcomes.
AFL Barwon Chair Michelle Gerdtz acknowledged Edward’s contributions and leadership.
“Edward has been a dedicated leader who has significantly contributed to the ongoing success of our region,” she said.
“His vision and commitment to community football and netball have left a lasting impact, and we sincerely thank him for his efforts.”
The AFL Barwon Commission will now work closely with the AFL Victoria to commence the process of appointing a new Region General Manager in the coming weeks.
