First elected in 2018, both Elliott and Mandel have completed two consecutive terms on the Board and bring extensive experience across the corporate and not-for-profit sectors.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to welcome both Marlene and David back to the Board following their re-election,” CGA President Ben Houston said.

The AGM also saw Kate Corkery’s casual vacancy as Director confirmed, with Corkery to hold the position for a two-year-term to the 2027 AGM.
