The Adelaide Football Club is calling for nominations for its next Member Engagement Panel, with applications closing on Saturday, November 2.

Set to enter its fourth year, the 10-person group will hold regular meetings with the Club’s senior management and Board Directors, with an aim of providing feedback and insights on behalf of the Members.

The panel, which is selected with a view of representing a wide cross-section of the supporter base, is consulted on a range of topics to help shape some of the Club’s decision making.

These are, but not limited to, match day themes and activations, current and proposed engagement initiatives and drivers to membership and connection.

The 2024 panel completed its service this month and helped make improvements to Crows membership products and processes, merchandise and Club media and communication.

Members on the panel also provided fan engagement ideas, and were given previews of the inaugural Anzac guernsey.

This year’s panellists had the following to say about the experience:

“Serving on the Member Engagement Panel was a really fulfilling experience that gave me a strong sense of connection to the club. I felt that all ideas and perspectives shared by the panel were appreciated and genuinely considered. I could see that the Crows team behind the scenes are dedicated to meeting member needs and enhancing our experience, and I loved the opportunity to contribute to that.” - Jacinta 

“The Member Engagement Panel is a one of a kind innovative initiative by the Adelaide Football Club and one I was honoured to be part of. The Club genuinely cares about its members' insights, feedback and opinions and are continually striving to improve the member experience for all. Participating in the panel provides an honest, behind the scenes look at the Club’s operations allowing you to see things from a whole new perspective. The Adelaide FC staff who facilitate and attend the panel are incredibly welcoming and always open to discussing ideas beyond the scheduled meetings. I highly recommend applying to any members who are passionate, open minded and eager to contribute to shaping our Club’s identity both now and into the future. It’s an exciting time for the Club both on and off field and members input truly matters. It’s a once in a lifetime experience that I will cherish forever.” - Jade

“As an enthusiastic Crows supporter from day one, I chose to apply for inclusion on the AFC Member Engagement Panel for 2024. Whilst somewhat unsure as to what my role would entail, I very quickly realised what a great experience it was to be. From our first familiarisation meeting with the preceding year’s panel and via every subsequent meeting, it has been a source of ever increasing interest and for me, pride in the way “our” club goes about its business. To share the genuine passion of fellow panellists in the room and have a real voice with several very significant figures from various parts of the club’s hierarchy, was a very pleasant surprise.” - Jon

"I wasn’t sure what to expect from this opportunity, but I quickly realised that the Club's drive for success is deeply rooted in its membership. The MEP gave a diverse group of members a voice and allowed us to offer valuable insights for the growth of the AFC. I highly recommend applying for the chance to represent and contribute to the Club's future." - Jarred
