ARU Appoint Clyne as new Chairman Among Multiple Board Changes

Australian Rugby Union (ARU) has confirmed that Michael Hawker will be stepping down as chairman and will be replaced by Cameron Clyne.

Clyne will officially take on the new role from 1 January 2016.

Hawker will remain on the Board as a Director until the 2016 AGM. He has served the maximum nine-year Board term across two periods at the organisation; from 2001-2003, and and from 2009-2015.

Clyne said: “Michael has been a terrific Chairman and guided the Board admirably through some challenging years. 

“It is a privilege to succeed him as Chairman. He has left the Board and Australian Rugby in a strong position for the future.

Under the leadership of Cameron Clyne, the ARU Board will oversee the delivery of Australian Rugby’s Strategic Plan which will be published in early 2016.

In other changes to the ARU Board, Dr Brett Robinson was elected Deputy Chairman and Elizabeth Broderick has joined as a board member.
