The Olympic Federation of Ireland Athletes Commission is seeking applications for membership of the commission to run to 2024.
The commission is an important forum through which the voice of athletes can be heard and via which influence can be brought to bear on sporting practice and administration.
Olympians from any of the last four Olympic cycles, winter, or summer, can apply for a position on the commission, with application forms available on the OFI website and needing to be submitted by December 22nd.
The current Athletes’ Commission was established in June 2017and has led to athlete representation on key decision-making groups across Irish sport.
It has also increased its visibility and voice on a global scale and spearheaded campaigns such as the Don’t Scroll By campaign against online hate speech.
The Athletes’ Commission actively engaged with athletes around pressing issues such as the IOC Rule 50.2 on public demonstrations, as well as clean sport, where they also worked with the National Anti-Doping Authority, Sport Ireland.
Between 5-8 members will be elected to the OFI Athletes’ Commission and will remain in office until late 2024.
The current membership of the commission includes Shane O’Connor, Gavin Noble, David Harte, David Gillick, Judy Reynolds, James Nolan, Kenneth Egan and Melanie Nocher.
