The Ghana Rugby Football Union (GRFU), has inaugurated a new Board and Officers in Accra.<\/p>\n
This follows the adoption of a new Constitution on July 2017, at its Annual General Meeting held in Accra-Ghana.<\/p>\n
The new Constitution was adopted to bring the governance structures of the GRFU in line with best practice governance, whereby the role of the Board as strategic management organ is divorced from the operational administration of the Union.<\/p>\n
Mr. Herbert Mensah, former President of the GRFU, was elected unopposed as President of the GRFU, and was also elected as a Board Member. The newly elected Board subsequently appointed him as Chairman.<\/p>\n
The other nominated Board Members who were elected include Abdul-Aziz Issah, Bismark Amponsah, James Nunoo Mensah, Kobina Nyarko, Rian Malan (South Africa) and Steve Noi.<\/p>\n
In addition to the six elected Board Members, a Ghana Rugby Union Players Association (GRUPA) representative, Michael Ako Wilson, was also elected unopposed\u00a0to the newly formed Board.<\/p>\n
The Board, at a special meeting after the elections, appointed Ms Rafatu Inusah to the Board as Women\u2019s Representative.<\/p>\n
The election of the Officers and Board was overseen by a Board representative of Rugby Afrique, Marcellin Zahui, as well as by the National Sports Authority of Ghana.<\/p>\n
