Board Movements

Outgoing Clifford Craig Foundation directors Ken Bassett, Tom O’Meara, Michael Roberts and Geoff Arnott.

The recent Annual General Meeting of the Clifford Craig Foundation saw the retirement of four longstanding directors in accordance with Board Tenure requirements. 

Ken Bassett, Geoff Arnott, Tom O’Meara and Michael Roberts were farewelled after a combined 60 years as Directors.

Clifford Craig chairman, Ass/Prof Don McTaggart thanked all four directors for their invaluable contributions to the growth and progress of the Foundation during their many years of service.

“During their tenure, all four were members of key sub-committees and we thank Ken, Tom, Geoff and Michael for their leadership and dedication,” he said.

Through the implementation of the governance review that was undertaken in 2019, the Foundation Board is undergoing a director renewal program over a three-year period which has included the establishment of new tenure limits for Directors. Former company secretary Jill Dearing and fellow director Ian Routley stood down in 2020.

Launceston solicitor Kai Beyerle was elected to join the Board at the AGM, joining the four most recent additions to the Board Lyndal Kimpton, Judith Watson, Neroli Ellis and John Batten who were elected in the previous year.

The process to recruit replacement directors is underway and we will introduce the successful applicants shortly.
