Ex-internationalists Julie Page and Cedi Fredericks have joined the board of Basketball England.
The pair have been co-opted as directors of the troubled governing body for the next 12 months as it looks to emerge from a series of governance issues and concerns over its management.
Page was a hugely respected member of Great Britainâ€
s Olympic team at London 2012 and gained vast experience overseas before retiring in 2013. She also came through FIBAâ€
s transitional Time Out programme and is currently working at Manchesterâ€
s Bridge College as the Sports and Community Programmes Manager.
“I hope to be able to positively influence the women and girlsâ€
journey, of which we have already travelled such a fantastic distance since I was young,†she said. “Itâ€
s a very exciting time to be a part of Basketball England, Iâ€
m looking forward to bringing my knowledge, experience and passion to the table.
Frederick enjoyed a 17-year playing career which included winning titles with Crystal Palace and representing England before going into coaching.
He has worked in a number of non-profits and is presently owner and Managing Director of Article Consulting Ltd, owner and CEO of La Nova Group and an accredited Life Coach.
He said: “I hope that my 35-year involvement in this wonderful game as a player, coach, administrator and fan, when combined with my business and Board level experience, enables me to make a positive contribution to the organisation and the game.â€
Also added to the board is Benny Bonsu who, according to a Basketball England press release, is a “community activist” and “leader in education”.
