Tiger Talk – Richmond CEO Brendon Gale to feature at next Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast

The breakfast is being held on Tuesday 11 September 2018 at Cardinia Cultural Centre at Lakeside Boulevard, Pakenham from 6.45am to 9am.

Tickets are $60 each. Businesses can also purchase a sponsorship package for $700, which includes seats for 10 guests.

The popular business breakfast events give business people across the Casey Cardinia region the opportunity to connect with other local business operators, hear from high-profile guest speakers and enjoy a delicious breakfast.

In a professional athletic career spanning 12 years, Brendon played 244 games of AFL football with the Richmond Football Club from 1990 to 2001. Upon retiring from professional football, he practiced law with commercial law firm Mallesons Stephen Jaques in the banking and finance practice.

In 2005, Brendon was appointed CEO of the AFL Players Association. In 2009 he was appointed as CEO of the Richmond Football Club. Brendon also holds a number of directorships and also served on the Board of the Victorian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission from 2009 to 2013.

Cardinia Shire Mayor Cr Collin Ross said tickets for the next business breakfast would be snapped up quickly by the many devoted Tigers’ fans living in the Casey Cardinia region. 

“Brendon is a highly sought-after speaker, especially given Richmond Football Club’s drought-breaking AFL Premiership win last year. He will join the outstanding line-up of guest speakers we have enjoyed hearing from at the business breakfasts this year.

“As CEO of the Richmond Football Club, Brendon leads a team of over 140 people, a budget of about $80 million and is responsible for the performance of all aspects of the organisation. There is no doubt that what he shares with us will be entertaining and insightful,” Cr Ross said. 

City of Casey Mayor Cr Geoff Ablett encouraged local business people to head along and start their morning on the right track.

“The Casey Cardinia Business Breakfast series is a great opportunity to be inspired and learn some great tips and insights about business, leadership and what it takes to get to the top from our high-profile guest speakers.

“It’s also a wonderful opportunity to meet other local business people, so book your seat now and start your working day off with some education, inspiration and networking,” Cr Ablett said.
