Challenges facing Women in Sport: Discussion
Ms Mary O'Connor:
I will be brief. Term limits depend on the constitution of the organisation involved. Part of the governance code, as Dr. May mentioned, recommends term limits for board members in order to ensure succession planning. Another element of the governance code, which, as Dr. May alluded to, requires all organisations to comply by the end of this year, is succession planning. Every national governing body and local sports partnership is to have a succession plan for their boards. There is a hope that will change.
