Emmett Dunne and Mary Padbury will be re-elected to the Richmond board unopposed.

No other candidates were forthcoming for the two vacancies on the board prior to the closure of nominations last Friday, meaning an election won’t be necessary before the annual general meeting on 19 December.

Dunne has served on the board since late 2016 while Padbury was a casual appointment in October this year, replacing retiring director Kerry Ryan.

“The Club has worked hard to build a board of diverse skills and experience to represent the members,” Richmond President Peggy O’Neal said.

“Stability has been a cornerstone of our success and it is pleasing Emmett and Mary will continue to serve on the board.”
