Kim Roughan
Director of Strategy & Governance
Kim has had a long association with AFL NSW/ACT. After a few years managing her son’s teams, she took the up the role of President in 2011 for the Baulko Hawks Junior AFL, and was the first female President in the Sydney Juniors league (super impressive).
With a passionate Committee, she helped bring the club back to a stable financial position, and in 2014 stepped down to become a spectator and Giants’ supporter.
As one of the newly elected Directors at the Eagles, she is most looking forward to rebuilding a positive game day experience after the last two seasons were impacted by Covid, which will, in turn, see increased investment in the club’s future.
