Badminton Victoria is thrilled to announce the appointment of two exceptional individuals, Joseph Yeung and Narasimhan Ravi (Ravi), to the Badminton Victoria Board of Directors. Their diverse backgrounds and wealth of experience will strengthen our organisation and propel us towards a brighter future.
Joseph Yeung brings extensive experience in community services and sports administration. He is Vice President of Little Athletics Australia, showcasing his dedication to fostering grassroots sports participation and developing high-performance pathways. Joseph's professional background as a Senior Executive in the Victorian Public Service and his qualifications as a CPA and lawyer equip him with a unique skill set to navigate complex governance matters. His passion for badminton, evident in his role as a qualified coach, further solidifies his commitment to our sport.
Narasimhan Ravi (Ravi), an Accredited Exercise Scientist, a former International Table Tennis Player and a Junior National Badminton Player, brings a deep understanding of our sport from an athlete and an administrator's lens. He holds a Master's in High-Performance Sports and currently leads the Diversity & Social Inclusion team at the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation (AFL), demonstrating his commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. Ravi's experience as a Non-Executive Director of the WestVic Academy of Sport underscores his knowledge of sports governance and ability to contribute strategically to our organisation.
Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Joseph and Ravi. We are confident their passion, expertise, and leadership will drive Badminton Victoria's continued success.
