Asia Rugby this week announced their new Committees Structure for 2020, with the positions being held by members of Asia Rugby affiliated Unions and Federations from January – December 2020.
On a Facebook post, Asia Rugby said the committees were selected with the “Chairperson to select the balance of the committee members to help develop, govern and grow all aspects of Rugby across Asia.”
Asia Rugby voted in its 2020 EXCO in November and the successful candidates are reflected in this new structure. The Asia Rugby Awards 2019 were also recently announced.
Asia Rugby Committees 2020
Although there was no additional information provided on the members selected to be on the committees or the actual roles, Asia Rugby does need to improve the structure to help develop the game across the region.
There are 9 committees in total, with each currently having three appointed members, a Chairperson and 2 Deputies. Each committee will in due course select additional committee members.
Asia Rugby has also been searching for a CEO, so it will be interesting to see how that role, once filled, will fit into this structure?
