In 2015, The Parramatta Eels introduced a first in the NRL: The Eels Member Council.
This Member advisory group meets regularly during the year to discuss a wide range of topics put forward by the Club and offer feedback on current and future Member and fan engagement initiatives.
As the year comes to an end, we have sadly farewelled the following Member Councillors:
- Darren Hawkins
- Daniel Valeri
- Clare Melville
- Mitch Clarke
- Laraine Down
- Kylie Cann
- Wendi Hodson
- Elizabeth King
- Nathan Kessey
We thank the above nine Councillors for the dedication and passion that they have shown the Parramatta Eels and the time that they have given up to be present at our Council meetings and events.
Our Member Council have been instrumental in the implementation of many fantastic Membership initiatives, including Member package item design and inclusions, game day initiatives such as the Members Lounge ’47, as well as having key input into enhancing the Member and fan match day experience for our return home to Bankwest Stadium.
Applications to replace our departing Member Councillors were open to all Members. Once again, we received an overwhelming response with over one hundred Members applying for a role on our Council. We would like to congratulate and welcome the following Members on their recent appointment:
- Craig Hawkins
- Bruce Wiley
- Allan Ingleton
- Alex Vrzic
- Lauren Thomas
- Todd Miladinovic
- Donna White
- Jason Langenberg
- Simone McKechnie
Thank you to all of the Members that put their applications forward for the 2020 season.
Applications will again be open to all Members in late 2020.
