The Role of Zone Representatives

Zone Representatives play an important role in football’s administration by liaising with club officials and providing feedback to Football West.

Our Zone Representatives:

  • Uphold and promote the objectives of Football West;
  • Are invited to become members of the company and attend General Meetings of Football West;
  • Elect the Board of Football West;
  • Facilitate the implementation of Football West and FFA policy, programs and initiatives; and
  • Act as a conduit for the flow of information and issues of relevance from Football West to the clubs and from the clubs to Football West

Zone Representatives are committed to working with Football West, Standing Committees and Clubs on matters of significance affecting football. In terms of a time commitment, Zone Representatives are likely to:

  • Spend 2-4 hours per month on football matters on an ongoing basis;
  • Attend the occasional special event with or on behalf of Football West;
  • Attend 3 or 4 Company Member meetings per year;

Attend the Annual General Meeting (normally late March).
