During such a complex and critical time for our 120-year-old organisation, it’s important we have continuity of governance and expertise in areas aligned to RAA’s strategic plan.

To this end, the RAA Board has unanimously appointed Kim Cheater and Jacqui McGill AO as Board Appointed Directors following a recommendation from the RAA Nominations Committee to endorse such appointments, in accordance with RAA’s Constitution.

“Kim & Jacqui are experienced professional directors who between them contribute a raft of highly desired skills and experience to RAA, and the Board believes the retention of their skills and governance is critical to the organisation’s future success,” says RAA President and Chairman Kathy Gramp.

RAA’s Constitution permits the Board to appoint up to three of RAA’s nine non-Executive Directors (known as a Board Appointed Director).

“The Board-appointment process represents a win-win for members in making sure the Board has the diversity of skills and experience needed to govern and grow,” Kathy says.

The reappointments mean there are no casual vacancies arising, so the Board is not calling for nominations for Director appointments in 2024.

“Retaining Kim and Jacqui on the Board for a further three-year term will help to secure and strengthen the future of RAA and help us to achieve the best possible outcomes for our members,” Kathy says.

Kim Cheater brings strong commercial skills and experience in the areas of Accounting & Finance, Information Technology, Digital, Insurance, ESG and Risk Management.

Jacqui McGill AO brings strong leadership skills and experience across a range of areas, most notably Governance, Risk Management, Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG), Government/ Public Policy and Regulatory.
