LODDON Valley Football Netball league will have a new leader. next week.
The league board will meet for the first time on Monday.
Former chair Simon Tuohey stepped down from the board after completing the maximum three three-year terms on the board.
Vice-chair Richard Hicks is tipped to step up and take on the key role.
The meeting will see the new board members elected last November at the meeting.
The new board members are Inglewood netball player and administrator Shasta Maher, former Bridgewater junior coach Wayne Naughton, and umpire and former junior interleague coach Glenn Catto.
All three have signalled that the development of junior football in the region is a top priority, while the likely broad restructuring of country football and netball leagues in Victoria will be another key issue to be considered in the next three years.
