Passionate about community, viability and sustainability, Richard brings a new insight and drive to the team to push the Ipswich Jets into a new era. With over 15 years executive experience working with charities, leading high level fundraising teams, and multimillion dollar budgets, Richard sees a bright future for the Ipswich Jets as a leader within both the local and rugby league communities. Already incorporating successful initiatives in 2019, 2020 will focus on the commercial success of the Ipswich Jets and strengthen its financial sustainability as a brand. Josh has been with the Ipswich Jets since 2015 and initially starting in a volunteer role as the club chaplain. A position birthed from an unfortunate tragedy and forth sight of then CEO Wayne Wendt, which has now grown into the paid position of Wellbeing and Education Officer. Still with the same heart for looking after the players and their families, the role has been formalised with the support of the NRL to the paid position that it is today. Looking after the players wellbeing off the field is of the upmost importance for the Jets. Having our players leave our club, not just as great footy players but all round great men is our passion. Aaron joined our team in 2023 and serves as a versatile professional, adept in the roles of graphic design, photography, and videography.
