Former Rugby Canada chair Sally Dennis is seeking a seat on World Rugby's executive board.
There are 13 candidates running for the six available positions with Dennis running against Samoa's Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi and Uruguay's Sebastian Pineyrua for the non-high-performance union position.Dennis says the executive board essentially acts as the world governing body's board of directors. Canada has not had representation on the board in recent history.
"If I were elected I would be the only one among the candidates that has that perspective and knowledge," she added. On Thursday, the council members will first elect the new chair, followed by the six executive board members from whom the vice-chair will be chosen. For the first time, there will also be player representatives on the board — one male and one female — plus three independent members. The World Rugby chair and CEO are also on the board.
