England Netball Board

The All England Netball Association (England Netball) is a company limited by guarantee. It is a private company, which operates as a members association on sound business principles.

There are no shareholders and the board of directors is directly accountable to members for the performance of the company. The Company acts as the National Governing Body for the game of netball and is a membership, not for profit, organisation covering all aspects of the great game of netball from grass roots to elite athlete participation.

The Board considers that good corporate governance is central to achieving the company's objectives and the principle of safeguarding stakeholder's interests. To support this aspiration the Board operates a number of sub-committees and working groups. The Board delegates to the Chief Executive Officer the day to day and business management control.

The make up of the Board is important as we supplement the netball skills, experience and knowledge of our elected directors with the wider sporting expertise and business and commercial acumen of our appointed directors. In this way the Board can demonstrate a skills mix that will allow it to fulfil its responsibilities effectively.

The Board operates on a rotational basis, to ensure a level of continuity, elected officers can serve for a maximum of four years and then retire. They may seek re-appointment but this will be subject to election by the Members. The current Board consists of up to 11, including the Chief Executive Officer.

Cheryl Danson OBE (Chairman), Lyn Carpenter (Vice Chairman), Lindsay Sartori (Treasurer), Sally Horrox, Kerrie Jones, Anita Navin (all Elected Non-Executive Directors), Fran Steele (Co-opted Director), Andy Borrie, Anabel Sexton, Alison Brown (all Appointed Non-Executive Directors) and Paul Clark (Chief Executive Officer).

Chief Executive Officer (Ex-Officio) Paul Clark is also a director.
