History of Directors of the Board of Paddle Victoria
On 19 September 2005, Paddle Victoria adopted a new constitution which implemented a change in leadership for Canoeing Victoria. Prior to this, Paddle Victoria consists of two administrative bodies – the Council (which comprised of affiliated canoe clubs) and the Executive Committee (which comprised of the Discipline Committees represented by their Chairs).
The following is a history of Directors since the adoption of the 2005 Constitution.
