New Chairman For Superkarts Australia Board
Tweetpress release
Following completion of a highly successful 2011 Australian Superkart Championship, the Board of SKA met on Friday 25th November 2011 to review the year’s performance and to plan for 2012 and beyond.
In this review, the SKA Board members were of the unanimous opinion that 2011 season was both exciting for the competitors as it was successful for them and the whole superkarting fraternity. The success that has been realised in the years up to and including 2011 has been the result of persistent endeavours to provide high quality motor racing for all national level superkarters.
These endeavours have been lead with passion and pride by the SKA Chairman, Clint Brown since 2009. With the success that has been achieved the board resolved that there is opportunity to continue to further advance the success of our championship through renewed board leadership.
This resolution resulted in SKA appointing David McAdam as the new Chairman of SKA effective immediately. Clint Brown will stay on as a director of SKA and provide valuable and respected input to the operation of our Championship.
In stepping down from the role of Chairman, Clint said “..SKA has in the recent years continued to grow and improve in its core role as manager of the Australian Superkart Championship and this success is something that I am personally very proud to have lead. I welcome the opportunity to continue with my fellow members of the board and ensure that we seamlessly transition into 2012 and deliver even better championship events for our members. I am excited that David has accepted the role of Chairman as I am confident that his racing, business and leadership experience can only further add to making our championship the premier event of the racing calendar”
David McAdam has been a director of SKA for the past 12 months. As a superkart racer David brings to the Chairmanship a solid knowledge of racing along with more than 30 years of significant business operations and leadership experience across a range of major organisations.
In accepting the position David commented that “...SKA is a fantastic organisation that focuses on its role of managing the Australian Superkart Championship. It is this focus that has enabled SKA to continue to improve event management each year. In taking on the role of Chairman of the Board I am looking forward to leading the creation of improved services for the members of SKA, exciting racing for the competitors and fans alike, and an improved image for superkarting as a racing category that represents the greatest thrill and competitive spirit imaginable. I thank Clint for his great efforts and I look forward to his wisdom in the future.”
The Board of SKA want to thank Clint for his tireless efforts as well as his persistence in managing our way through the various issues that have arisen in the course of the journey to date.
The plans for 2012 are exciting so watch this space for further announcements in the coming months.
