The Pakenham Racing Club has announced the appointment of Blair Odgers as its new chief executive officer.
PRC chairman Simon Conn said Odgers was chosen in a competitive selection process from a strong field of candidates.
“We are thrilled to have someone with the experience and calibre of Blair join Pakenham Racing Club and look forward to welcoming him and his family to the club,” Mr Conn said.
“It is an exciting time for the club and with Blair’s leadership we look forward to capitalising on the many exciting and various opportunities that continue to present to the club across our three venues; Pakenham Racecourse, Cardinia Club and Club Officer.
