As announced at the PFA AGM 2020, we will soon be having major elections for key positions at the PFA.
The PFA Rules ensure that all current players are entitled to stand as candidates for the Players’ Board positions detailed below, and we will ensure that we do not unreasonably exclude any current player from standing for all other leadership positions.
Our overriding priority is to ensure that the election process for all positions is open, transparent, and fair to all. The Players’ Board protects your interests as well as decides on our strategy as a union. We very much look forward to hearing from you if you are interested in helping lead our organisation.
