Independent Director – TTNL Limited (Known As the ANZ Championship) Independent Director – TTNL Limited (known as the ANZ Championship) About the ANZ Championship The ANZ Championship was launched in 2008 as a successor to the Commonwealth Bank Trophy in Australia and the National Bank Cup in New Zealand. The competition is administered by TTNL Limited, a company incorporated in New Zealand, and is a joint venture between the netball governing bodies of both countries. The ANZ Championship is the premier netball league in Australia and New Zealand. It is contested by ten teams, five from Australia and five from New Zealand under guidance from their respective National Associations. The competition is currently held annually between April and July, comprising 69 matches played over 17 weeks including the finals series The ANZ Championship has seen netball become a semi-professional sport in both countries, with increased media and spectators. Over 220,000 people attended games in 2013 and over 8 million watched the championship on television either live or on highlights. ANZ Championship has a robust sponsorship model with the ANZ Bank being the naming rights sponsor of the competition since its inaugural season. This is supported by Pay TV, with Sky Sports being the Official Broadcaster in New Zealand since its inaugural year and since 2013 in Australia by Fox Sports with SBS providing a Free to Air component. After six successful seasons the strategic platform is being set for the next phase of development and the Independent Director is expected to play a key role in its governance. About the Role The Board is comprised of six directors, with three appointees from both Netball New Zealand and Netball Australia, each comprising: One independent director One Board appointee CEO of each national body The role of the independent director is sought to: Bring an independent perspective to the Board process; Provide direction and guidance on the strategy for the league to ensure it continues to grow as a pre-eminent female sports league; Provide direction and guidance for senior management on key commercial contracts; and Monitor key risks particularly around the overall financial performance of the League A shareholders’ agreement covers all aspects of the relationship between the two parties – Netball Australia Limited and Netball New Zealand Inc. The Independent Director is a fully accountable member of the Board and the position is initially for a term of three years. The appointee needs to be free of netball related conflicts of interest. Board meetings are usually held every two months and alternate between Melbourne and Auckland, although availability for conference calls may be required in between meetings. Board meetings usually last around four hours and are timed so that only one night’s accommodation would be required when travelling overseas. A directors fee of $15,000 NZD per annum is earned, and all travel related expenses for attending meetings are covered. Key Skills, Knowledge and Attributes Governance experience, preferably as an Independent Director; Strong knowledge of, and experience in the New Zealand and Australian sporting landscape and related governance; Understanding of, and experience with commercial aspects of sport including having contacts in key areas that would benefit the league both from within and outside of sport; Significant leadership/operational experience in related disciplines – eg finance, legal, broadcast and marketing; and Knowledge of and experience with major sporting events/leagues would be an advantage.

INTRODUCTION This is a joint submission on behalf of the Australian Netball Players’ Association (“ANPA”) and the Australian Workers’ Union (“AWU”). We would like to thank John Kirby and Village Roadshow for their support. History of the partnership Former Australian captain Kathryn Harby-Williams founded the current ANPA in 2003. The association was created as a voice for Australia’s leading female athletes to communicate with the governing body Netball Australia. The ANPA won landmark decisions against Netball Australia on areas of restraint of trade and female rights. By 2004, the association was unable to attract sufficient funds to continue such work and thus began discussions with AWU following an approach to ANPA by AWU National Secretary Bill Shorten.

  • A New Approach to Measure Perceived Brand Personality Associations Among Consumers
    Sport Marketing Quarterly , 2010, 19 , 17-24, © 2010 West Virginia University B A New Approach to Measure r a Perceived Brand Personality n Associations Among Consumers d P Bob Heere e Bob Heere, PhD, is an assistant professor of kinesiology & health education at the University of Texas at Austin. His research r interests include social identity, community development, international sport management issues, and branding. s o Abstract n Brand personality research has made extensive use of factor modeling to grasp the dimensions of brand per - a sonality. Many scholars have adapted this technique to capture the brand personality of an organization. It l is argued in this study that letting consumers associate a brand with a personality through factor modeling i is flawed and anthropomorphic in nature. Therefore, the author proposes a different technique to measure t these associations, by asking managers about what personality associations they implement while marketing y their brand. Based on their responses, a list of associations was compiled and sent out to their fans, to meas - ure the effectiveness of the organization to portray the brand associations. Results indicate that by imple - menting this strategy managers are able to grasp a more precise concept of the perceived personality associations of the brand. In addition, the strategy provided managers with more in-depth information on their brand by measuring the brands’ importance and representativeness among their consumers.
