Our past President now in major role with ABF.

The Australian Bridge Federation has announced that David Fryda has been appointed Executive Director of the ABF.

David was President of the North Shore Bridge Club for part of 2020, all of 2021 and part of 2022. This covered the difficult times faced by the club during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Here is the announcement by the ABF President Allison Stralow:

David Fryda and Allison Stralow

 

I am pleased to announce the Board has employed David Fryda to the position of ABF Executive Director, effective 1 November 2023. David will make recommendations to the Council and the Board for the adoption of policies promoting the objects of the ABF and give effect to recommendations made by the Council or Board. He will also oversee employees and contractors of the ABF.

David is a highly regarded IT professional, including over a decade in the role of Chief Information Officer (CIO). His extensive experience encompasses leadership of both large and small teams, strategy development and implementation, as well as adept stakeholder engagement within intricate organisational landscapes. Following his retirement from full-time positions in 2017 David transitioned into the roles of consultant, coach, and educator. David was also the captain of our Australian Open Team in 2023.

The Council and Board look forward to working with David to promote the objects of the ABF.
