Proud of the progress
“I am extremely proud of the progress and achievements during my time as CEO and I am pleased that Steve will inherit a strong national federation,” Green said in an official statement.
“I have seen enormous and positive change over the past three years. It is now timely for me to take on a new professional challenge.”
On the other hand, Cycling Australia chairman Steve Bracks expressed his positive thoughts on Green’s performance and his leadership duties in general, especially since Green inherited a real financial mess when he first took the position three years ago.
“I am delighted that CA is back in a sound position and ready to grow to its next phase,” Bracks stated.
