ROD Ward will resign as chief executive of the Ballarat Football League and general manager of the Riddell District and Maryborough Castlemaine District leagues.
The well-known football administrator has been named AFL Victoria’s inaugural regional general manager of the new Goldfields region.
The position was flagged after the AFL’s 2012 review into football in Country Victoria found a governance overhaul was required.
Ward said he was delighted to accept the role.
“I am very excited to be given the opportunity. I am really looking forward to working with the various stakeholders in the Goldfields Region to grow the game,” he said.
Ward begins in the role next month.
