W. B. (Bill) Sanders AM
FORMER CEO/CHAIRMAN ADELAIDE
FOOTBALL CLUB
The Hurley family connection with the AFC has continued
from the Club’s inception in 1990 through to this day.
Peter Hurley joined the AFC Board in 2001 and remained a
Director until 2014 – long term by today’s standards.
In 2004, the character of the AFC was tested as it experienced
the most tempestuous period in its existence.
The Board was active, not always publicly, in recognising the
need for review, restructure and ultimately directional change.
Peter, having been appointed Deputy Chairman in that
same year, provided balanced, decisive intellect within
the Board, and as a member of the Executive Committee
and Innovations Committee, his ‘outside’ experience was
invaluable to the decisions taken.
During this period of change, Peter’s support to the Chair
was greatly appreciated.
Peter was an exceptional contributor to the Board,
“In 2004, the character of the
AFC was tested as it experienced
the most tempestuous period
in its existence … Peter, having
been appointed Deputy
Chairman in that same year
provided balanced, decisive
intellect within the Board.”
particularly in leading the Finance and Audit Committee
and his leadership and guidance, helped the Club overcome
its many challenges during his 14 year term as a Director.
He has been a positive influence to a great many people in
football, tourism, hotel and hospitality industry, and the
community in general.
Congratulations Peter Hurley AO.
“Peter’s passion and support of
the wine industry … has been an
integral part in helping position
wine in South Australia and
around the world.”
Organisations like DrinkWise benefit greatly from Peter’s
experience and innate knowledge of the industry.
Peter’s relationship with Treasury Wines Estates extends
back many years to when he first began in the industry,
and we’re grateful for Peter’s counsel and guidance over
that time.
He remains a passionate advocate for wine and Treasury
Wine Estates, and we are privileged that our relationship
with Peter continues to develop and flourish.
