Board member <strong>Steve Newman<\/strong> has been the acting CEO since April.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gallen has been announced as the new CEO of the National Sports Tribunal, the body that hears and resolves national-level sporting disputes in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>The appointment requires her to relinquish her position on the Board before she starts her new role on 18 September.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today\u2019s announcement comes just weeks after it was revealed that Swimming Australia was \u201c<a

World Aquatics following advice that it needed to make constitutional changes to ensure more power to athletes and a stronger voice for athletes and coaches would be endorsed at a Special General Meeting of its voting members in October.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the motion for the new constitution wasn\u2019t passed, then World Aquatics reserved its rights to consider further action against Swimming Australia in line with its constitution \u2013 which includes expulsion from the global governing body.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gallen had announced that a meeting to vote for the adoption of a new constitution aimed at delivering governance reforms essential to the future of the sport would be held on October 20.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon her departure, Gallen said it had been an honour to be President of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimming.org.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the organization<\/a>\u00a0and to serve the broader swimming community, from the grassroots through to the elite level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWatching our swimmers dominate at the recent World Aquatics Championships and Para Swimming World Championships made Australia extremely proud and will help inspire the next generation of swimmers,\u201d Gallen said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a difficult decision but I\u2019m excited to be pursuing my other passion of sports law at the National Sports Tribunal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI will be watching with great investment and interest as our swimmers continue their preparations for the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swimming Australia has commenced the process of finding Gallen\u2019s successor and said today it will announce the new

\u2013 13 of them gold \u2013 the most dominant gold medal performance of any team and its best gold medal performance since 2001 \u2013 and the most medals ever won.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swimming Australia Chasing Its Fifth President In Three Years After Michelle Gallen Resigns Swimming Australia is about to elect its fifth
