We are pleased to announce that Steph Bond has been appointed as FICA’s Legal and Policy Manager. This follows an extensive process led by our appointment panel and external recruiters.
Steph joins FICA from her current role as Legal Counsel at the New Zealand Rugby Players’ Association, having previously worked as a solicitor at Russell McVeagh and Maria Clarke Lawyers, working across sport, litigation, dispute resolution and IP. She is a former netball player and played in the ANZ Championship representing the Northern Mystics. Steph will be employed on a part-time basis as she will maintain her role as the Executive Manager of the New Zealand Netball Players’ Association.
We are really excited to have someone of Steph's calibre and experience joining us for our next phase and as we continue to build out our team to support our existing and new member players’ associations, and continue to make progress and deliver for players around the world on global issues.
Steph said: “I can’t wait to get stuck in to working with players’ associations and players around the world. I’m really excited about a new challenge presented in a new sport, and at a global level. My background and passion lies in the players’ association movement and I’m looking forward to contributing to FICA as it continues to grow and achieve outcomes for players into the future.
