Athletics plan mastermind Owens takes up AAI board role

GARY OWENS, who masterminded the Strategic Plan for athletics, has agreed to act as the independent chairman of the new AAI Board for the next two years, to oversee the implementation of the integration process.

He accepted the position on Monday night at the last meeting of the old executive.

The members then elected the chairpersons of the committees who will comprise the new board, although it is understood there was just one vote taken.
