“In addition I welcome Jacqui McCrum to the Advisory Board as a new Ordinary Member, and the reappointment of David Cagney and Ken Slattery for second terms. Each of these individuals have distinguished track records arising from their respective careers, and I’m pleased that equal gender balance has been achieved in these appointments.
