New interim CEO for ClubsNSW

Sallianne Faulkner has been appointed Acting CEO of ClubsNSW, arriving at a moment that she says is a pivotal one in the organisation's history.

“As our club industry faces challenges on multiple levels, I look forward to working with whomever forms Government in March and working on sensible reform — reform that is informed by evidence and ensures long-term industry viability for our communities, our staff and our club members.

“Clubs must be able to continue to provide community facilities and support, critical to the regional areas and metropolitan suburbs across NSW,” Mrs Faulkner said.

Faulkner has sat on the board of ClubsNSW since 2018 and was elected Deputy Chair in June 2019. She is also President of Ramsgate RSL where she has sat on the board there since 2012 and General Manager of the Bayside Women’s Shelter.

ClubsNSW Chairman Dr George Peponis OAM said, “Sallianne is a widely respected and skilled business and community leader with more than a decade of experience in the club sector,” Dr Peponis said.

“She possesses the right combination of integrity, compassion and intelligence that is well suited to leading a large and complex organisation like ClubsNSW. We are fortunate to have a person of Sallianne’s calibre within our ranks to lead the organisation through an important transition period.”
