Irish Boxing has spoken today and has said no to a proposal to reconstitute the Board of the IABA and have said no to permitting annual and extraordinary general meetings in Northern Ireland.
Motion One proposed expanding the board from its current 10 members to 12. This newly constituted board would include 6 independent members, along with athlete and coach representatives, whilst also addressing the lack of female representation on the board. The new board would then be tasked with deciding how to deal with the remaining recommendations in the recently published IABA Governance Review.
39% of affiliated boxing clubs registered to send voting delegates. 105 voting delegates attended today’s meeting. They represent 31% of clubs and voted against Motion One, by 80 votes to 25.
