The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) has congratulated leading sports administrator Kate Palmer AM on her appointment as CEO of OneAthetics for the next 12 months.
AOC President John Coates AC says Ms Palmer is an outstanding choice to manage the merger between Athletics Australia and Little Athletics Australia to form the new Australian Athletics.
"This is a critical appointment for Australian sport, ensuring healthy grassroots growth and development with logical pathways to high performance success. I could not think of anyone better equipped than Kate to manage this process to unify athletics in Australia.
"The AOC, representing 45 Olympic member sports, certainly enjoyed a positive and constructive relationship with Kate during her tenure at Sport Australia, where she left a significant legacy.
"The AOC looks forward to working with Kate in the period ahead as we focus on delivering our Australian Olympic Team to the Tokyo Games in July this year," Mr Coates concluded.
