- Minister for Racing
Leading sports and racing administrator Greg Miller will join the board of Greyhound Racing Victoria (GRV).
Minister for Racing Martin Pakula congratulated Mr Miller on his appointment to the board, where he will serve as deputy chair.
Mr Miller brings a wealth of experience to the role. He has been chief executive of Sandown Greyhound Racing Club since 2010, building the club’s reputation and hosting one of the biggest greyhound racing events in Australia each year – the Melbourne Cup. He will step down from that role at the end of the month.
Prior to his time at Sandown, Mr Miller held executive positions with the Richmond and North Melbourne football clubs and earlier in his football administration career, he helped to oversee the move of South Melbourne FC to Sydney.
The greyhound racing industry generates $500 million for the Victorian economy each year and sustains more than 4,300 full-time-equivalent jobs.
Mr Miller’s appointment to the GRV board and as deputy chair is effective from 1 January.
