Motorcycling Australia (MA) has announced the addition of Dana Assenheim to the panel of the Whole of Sport Review.

Assenheim joins the review panel chaired by Ross Oakley (OAM), which also includes Braxton Laine (president of MA), Dale Gilson (CEO of MA), Brenton Matters (president of Motorcycling South Australia) and Wayne Holdsworth (CEO of Motorcycling Victoria).

The Whole of Sport Review was announced by MA in July 2014 to look at the commercial, operational and financial aspects of the sport.

Assenheim currently holds a position in the sports governance and business capability branch of the Australian Sports Commission, specialising in governance reform and commercialisation projects across all recognised national sporting organisations.

Speaking about her appointment to the panel, Assenheim said she was looking forward to providing resources and tools to help motorcycling through this period of change.

“I’m looking forward to working with the panel to identify the best future pathway for motorcycling as a sport,” Assenheim said. “This WoSR will address the governance practices of the national office and also look to align the practices of the state controlling bodies so there is alignment for the sport as a whole.”

Assenheim added that it was crucial that the Whole of Sport Review be supported by all those involved in sustaining the sport’s future in Australia.

“From an Australian Sports Commission perspective, a key focus of ours is ensuring there are good governance practices in place to help increase the performance of the organisation and sport as a whole,” Assenheim said.

“I encourage all stakeholders invited to participate in the review to do so with an open mind and willingness to embrace change in the best interests of the sport.”
