Announcement: Staffing Change for 2019 Season

The Edmonton Wildcat Football Club would like to announce that General Manager Meghann Tanner will be stepping away from the club at the end of this season.

Meghann’s significant service to our club began  seven years ago as a member of the Board of Directors. She very quickly established the most successful In The Community Program in the country which culminated in the Wildcats winning its first ever Past Commissioner’s Awards in back to back years, given to a player who exemplifies community service in he entire Canadian Junior Football League.
Meghann was also a major contributor to our Eskimos 50/50 program, game day preparations, alumni events, and team communications among many other initiatives of the club.
In 2016, Meghann moved from the Board to the position of Operations Manager and then in 2017 to General Manager.
Meghann has always played a significant role in the players lives, organizing travel, securing 50/50 and In the Community volunteers, and just being there to answer questions about all things about being a Wildcat.
Meghann has also volunteered at the Prairie Football Conference and Canadian Junior Football League levels and her contribution to those organizations will also be greatly missed.
She will continue to support the club with the Eskimos 50/50 going forward.
Meghann will always have a place with the Edmonton Wildcats should that road lead her back at some point in the future.
Congratulations on your decision Meghann, and remember…once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!!!
The search for a General Manager will begin soon, check back to our website for details.

Changes to Board of Directors

Effective May 1,2018 at our Annual General Meeting our 2018 Board of Directors was installed. Brad Gatschene has moved into the role of President of the Edmonton Wildcats Football Club. Brad Quartel has accepted the role of Vice President. Jason Dailey remains as Treasurer and Scott Kramble has accepted the role of Secretary.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank John Wojcicki who has been on the board since 2006 and served as President for 7 years. John announced in 2017 that it would be his last year as President, and the board unanimously moved Brad Gatschene from his Director-Corporate Relations role into Vice President to prepare him to transition into the President role for 2018.

John’s dedication to the team has been unwavering. Through the last several years, he has lead the team through high points and low points, and has been a voice of encouragement and stability through it all. He restructured the board, helping us to run more efficiently and professionally, which has set us up to continue to see stability, financial and otherwise. John represented the team at countless meetings, and we could always sit confidently knowing that the best interests of the Wildcats and of football in Edmonton were being represented. John’s passion for the team has shown in everything he has done, and we are thrilled he will be staying on the board in the capacity of Past President to continue to push us forward.

Thank you John, and congratulations to the 2018 Board of Directors!!
