Board Appointments
In December, the Governor appointed a new Chair of the Board. Lynn Mason, who has been a Board member since March 2007, was appointed to replace inaugural Chair Gerald Loughran following the expiration of his term.
In January, the Governor appointed three new members to the Board, and reappointed a current member. The new members – Sheryl Thomas from the northern regions, and Nell Kuilenburg and Peter Kay from the southern region – were chosen for their mix of community development, board governance and communications expertise. Member Catherine Fernon was reappointed for a further term.
The appointments were made following a call for expressions of interest and consideration by a selection panel chaired by Treasury Secretary Don Challen, and recommendations from the Treasurer.
