Three new directors on FSC board

The Forest Stewardship Council has appointed three new directors to its board. Carlie Porteous (VISY), David Collard and Michelle Freeman (IFA) join Craig Dunn (Opal), and Sarah Rees (Australian Forests and Climate Alliance) who were returned to the board, having successfully renominated after completing a three year appointment, and Peter Cooper (The Wilderness Society) who was elected after having filled a casual vacancy.

The resignation of Mark Gauthier (chair), created a casual vacancy and after considering the nominations the board has appointed AFPA CEO Ross Hampton to the Economic Chamber.

Each year the chair of the board position is rotated across the chambers, and the board has appointed Susie Russell as the chair and Mark Annandale as deputy chair for 2020-2021.

Directors terms will expire at the AGM in May of each year, on a rotating basis.
