Michael Salter

Michael has been a partner in the national law firm Phillips Fox for more than 35 years, practising principally in the field of professional liability.

Peter Jackson
Peter took up the position of Chief Executive at Essendon Football Club in April 1996 following a decision by the then board to move away from a board of management to a board of governance. As a result of the introduction of professional management practices during 1997/1998, the club has achieved financial and on-field success. The major challenges now are remaining competitive on-field in the AFL’s equalised environment, and generating ongoing profits in the face of reductions in traditional revenues. Peter was appointed managing director of the Essendon Football Club in 2006. Much of Peter’s previous career has been associated with companies needing to be restructured, where the ability to manage change is paramount to success. He is also Chairman of Canterbury Windows.
