Triathlon Western Australia is pleased to announce the election of Brenden Koh as President of the organisation. Henrietta Farrell has been elected as Vice President.
We thank our outgoing President, Steve Lyon, for his service and the dedication he has shown over the past years. Thanks to Steve’s leadership and expertise in risk management and strategy, our organisation remained strong through the COVID-19 Pandemic and into 2022.
Triathlon WA Executive Director, Glenn Te Raki, said the organisation was excited to have Brenden stepping up into the President role.
“Brenden brings a strong understanding of the sport as well as prior Board and leadership experience. He will undoubtably bring enthusiasm and energy to his leadership of the Board alongside Vice President, Henrietta Farrell,” said Te Raki.
New Triathlon WA President Brenden Koh says he is excited to be taking on the Presidency and looks forward to continuing the growth of the organisation and sport.
“I’d like to thank the TWA board for my election as President of TWA and am humbled by the support from all of the people within our wonderful Triathlon community,” said Koh.
“We should all be proud to be part of TWA and where it is going. As an organisation we must continue to adapt, challenge the status quo, and set the sport up for future successes.
“To our community – please continue to take part and get involved because this sport is as good as we make it,” he said.
We look forward to seeing the positive impact Brenden and Henrietta will have in the coming years, and congratulate them on their election.
