President Jeff Browne thanks Anderson for his commitment to the club which has seen record membership numbers and ongoing work from the Do Better report.
Meanwhile, Anderson told the club’s website he’ll be forever grateful for his time at Collingwood.
“Thank you to everyone at Collingwood for the opportunity to serve as CEO – it has been a privilege to represent all of our Members and supporters,” Anderson said.
“Collingwood is truly a Club that is Made by Many and whose Members and supporters are the most loyal, dedicated and passionate fans across the competition. One of the highlights throughout my time at the Club has been seeing the Magpie Army return to the ‘G’ this year after two tough years impacted by the pandemic. To feel the roar and atmosphere after another one of our amazing wins this season is something that I will always remember and treasure.
“The Collingwood Football Club is a great Club because of the quality of our people and it has been a pleasure to work alongside so many brilliant coaches, staff and players across each of our teams. I want to especially thank my talented Executive team for their expertise and support which has been greatly appreciated.”
