The Essendon Football Club board tonight voted Ray Horsborough in as the new Chairman of the Club, replacing Neil McKissock who officially stood down from the position at tonight's board meeting.
McKissock had previously announced his intentions at last week's Crichton Medal function.
In other changes announced following the meeting, Daryl Jackson was voted in as the new vice-chairman of the Club while Chief Executive Peter Jackson has joined the board in the capacity of Managing Director.
Horsborough said the return of Essendon to finals football was the key challenge that confronted his board moving forward.
"Clearly we are in a position of strength as a business and we will again announce a significant profit this season," Horsborough said.
"So off field we are in a solid position. What we all want is to get Essendon back playing in September and to win the ultimate prize. That is the priority for all of us."
