We are pleased to announce the addition of West Rolleston Principal, Sylvia Fidow to the Selwyn United board.

Hi I'm Sylvia, and I've been a passionate advocate of football since I played my first game at 14. Twenty six years later I reluctantly stopped playing as there was no masters league for women and I was wary of trying to keep up with the youngsters. I ran first kicks and fun football for a few years at Coastal Spirit before moving to Rolleston. As a local school principal I am excited about the opportunities and pathways football [and any sport] can provide for our young people. I'm also really interested in community development and how sport can connect people. I look forward to contributing to Selwyn United.

Sylvia will bring valuable strategic expertise to an already experienced board which now consists of:

• Darren Sudlow (President)
  
• Gerard de Rooy (also Operations Manager)
  
• Michelle Marshall (also General Manager)
  
• Stan de Rooy
  
• Alan Ede
  
• Sylvia Fidow
  

We have room to co-opt another board member if anyone in the community is interested in contributing. If you are, please email pres@sufc.nz, detailing what expertise you could bring to the board.
