| Is your Club holding an AGM soon? |
FFV, in partnership with VicHealth, is working to build healthier sporting environments that are more inclusive and welcoming of everyone in their community. With many clubs’ AGMs fast-approaching, there is no better time to ensure your club has a diverse management committee which reflects your player membership.
Clubs wishing to increase the involvement of women and girls are also invited to contact the Women and Girls’ Development Officer, Ash Callaghan, acallaghan@ffv.org.au |

| GDT Review |
FFV is constantly looking for ways to improve our service. This includes the delivery of the tribunal and misconduct process.
FFV reviews and updates the GDT each year after consultation with various stakeholders. This year we have decided to also seek feedback in the form of a survey (as well as other stakeholder consultations) prior to issuing the new GDT for 2016.
Should you wish to make any comments in relation to the GDT, please complete the survey to send your feedback to us. You may include specific edits to the GDT wording itself, through to your feedback on the process as a whole.
As always, you are welcome to send any feedback and/or GDT edits directly to the FFV tribunal team as well. |

| Let's Keep Kids (and adults!) Active |
We all want our players to stay in the game, and we want to be proactive with our approach to player retention! Please encourage all your players to take this short, 10-question survey, so that we can understand:
- How players rated their football experience in 2015
- What players need and value when playing football
We will use these findings, together with research on why people leave sport, to help us understand what we can do to achieve good member retention.
All survey respondents are invited to provide an email address to be entered into a draw for a Melbourne City/Victory A-League/W-League jersey, and match-day double-pass.
