New Otago Community Trust Appointments
New Trustee and Chair appointments
Barbara Bridger — October 2, 2020
Dr Michael Stevens, Rebecca Williams, and Raewyn van Gool have been appointed as new Otago Community Trust trustees. The new trustees replace Kate Hazlett, Ross McRobie and John Wilson who are stepping down from the Trust after completing their trustee terms.
The new appointments which took effect in early September were unfortunately delayed due to the Government needing to divert resources to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Otago Community Trust is also pleased to annouce that it has appointed a new chair. Dunedin based lawyer, Diccon Sim has been appointed to the role, with Barb Long stepping into the deputy chair position.
Trustees are appointed to the Community Trust by the Minister of Finance, under the Community Trusts Act 1999. Trustees are selected for their professional or community-based experience and must live within the Trust's region.
Trustees are responsible for managing funds of more than $290 million and distributing income for the benefit of the Otago communities.
