SRU chief Dodson extends contract
After an 18 month contract extension, the board unanimously approved Mark Dodson to remain as chief executive of Scottish Rugby.
Dodson is the chairman of the company for 12 years. John Jeffrey, chairman, said that his track record speaks for itself.
Jeffrey stated, “As the board enters what is likely will be a time of significant change as well as some uncertainty, the board unanimously approved to ask him for an additional 18 month term.”
“We are proposing to change the structure of Scottish Rugby through our governance review. This is likely to take some effort.
“The executive group, led by Mark will be critical in helping make this happen. It's important that we can have continuity as the work progresses and share our experience and expertise.
