HRSA ANNOUNCES RESIGNATION OF CHAIRMAN OF STEWARDS

Harness Racing SA announces that Simon Ewen will be standing down as Chairman of Stewards with effect from 14th November 2020 to pursue external interests.

In announcing the resignation, HRSA Chief Executive Officer Ross Neal thanked Simon for his invaluable service and outstanding contribution to the organisation over a great many years.

“Simon has a lifetime of involvement in harness racing and he has been a substantial contributor, to not only HRSA, but the entire South Australian harness racing industry.

Simon’s dedication to his role as Chairman of Stewards, and the respect he has engendered has greatly assisted HRSA in driving the industry forward in changing and challenging times”

“On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend our best wishes to Simon as he embarks on another chapter of his working career. Mr Neal said.

Mr Ewen stated “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at HRSA, culminating in the role as Chairman of Stewards and am pleased that I have been able to contribute to growing harness racing in SA.”

“I would like to thank everyone that has supported me and contributed to my development through the 33 years that I have worked for HRSA, commencing in a part time role as the assistant starter and progressing to the Chairman of Stewards. Harness racing has been an integral part of not only my life, but my family’s life, providing me with opportunities and experiences that wouldn’t have been possible in any other industry.” Mr Ewen said.
