A stalwart of Wairarapa netball, Kim Whiteman, has been appointed general manager of the Netball Wellington Region.
Whiteman has been closely involved with the administration of Wairarapa netball for several years, including serving as manager of the local centre.
She has also taken an active role in coaching and was coach of two of the teams playing in the Wairarapa premier grade last year: Carterton and Martinborough.
Netball Wellington Region chairwoman Kerry Prendergast said Whiteman's appointment and that of a new development manager, Liz Page, were part of a restructuring process that saw the two positions advertised widely.
"We were looking for people with the confidence and ability - and the passion - to lead a team to deliver our regional strategy."
