Hope she does a good job. It isn't a bad thing having a woman on the board. Gives everyone a female perspective and a new opinion. As long as she can help the club move forward.

We also had a female board member in Lauraine Diggins a few years ago.

The bit of hoped for turnover in the board has started sooner than I anticipated. A new face will be a good thing, and will provide a chance for the club to broaden out its wings a little and build something new.
Its easy to forget, but most of what a board does is only sensibly judged in a few years time. Any organisation is a slow learner and it can take years to turn things around.
Personally the gender of our newest board member is utterly irrelevant and seems to be mostly of interest to the barrow pushers. Just want each board member to be filthy about losing, committed to winning and able to keep their ego in check and work with the rest of the board effectively.
Oh and not leak to the media- a habit for which the club has paid a high price for over the years.

What a nonsensical board appointment.
What does Kate Jenkins Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commissioner, know about football?!!
The powers that be at Carlton have now moved 180 degrees, from appointments based on inherited wealth, to those driven by political correctness.
Such decisions can only serve to further alienate die hard Carlton supporters.
Pathetic decision.

Why wouldn't she know anything about football?
Re: Board change - bignic - 10-20-2015
She'd know about as much as Zac Fried and Ahmed Fahour knew

I reckon this will be a great appointment - so many other threads on here bleat about our club having no culture, and we can't move forward until the board is straightened out etc etc. Well guess what, the old way of appointing ex-footballers turned property developers hasn't done us any favours at all.
The board of a football club should consist of smart people who know how to make a plan, drive an organisation to achieve that plan, and make confident decisions - and leave the football bit to those who are employed to do that job.
Do you think Rupert Murdoch knows how to work a TV camera or run a newspaper press?

She might tidy us up from a employee treatment perspective.
We have not been doing a good enough job in that regard.
Re: Board change - jeza - 10-20-2015
Haven't heard from anyone that she is a Carlton supporter.
Couldn't care less if she was a women's rights campaigner or whatever - just could not care less. It is an important issue - don't get me wrong but if that is her only qualification for sitting on the board of a football club I'm baffled.
