THE AMBASSADORS & TRUSTEES The Foundation is again fortunate to have the support and backing in 2015 of the following influential and well-connected group of Ambassadors. • Hon Richard Court (Former Premier and Treasurer of Western Australia) • Valerie Davies (Director of One 2 One Communications Pty Ltd) • David Flanagan (Managing Director of Atlas Iron Limited and Chancellor of Murdoch University) • Dr Dongyi Hua (Executive Chairman and CEO of VDM Group Limited) • RH Lisa Scaffidi (The Right Hon The Lord Mayor) We are privileged to have such a diverse and prominent group of MLC advocates out in the community actively promoting MLC at every opportunity. The Foundation wishes to thank the Foundation Ambassadors for their continued support and assistance throughout 2015.
TRUSTEE MEMBERS 2015 witnessed the first year for the Board and Sub-Committees to be governed under the provisions of the new Constitution. The new Constitution sanctions a more streamlined and simple structure to be created and maintained. The main noticeable difference is the formation of the Trustee Members to exercise the rights and responsibilities of membership of an incorporated association. The Board of the Foundation is ultimately accountable to the Trustee Members who are the only individuals entitled to vote in person or via proxy at the Annual General Meeting and any special general meetings. Therefore, when identifying the Trustee Members it was important they were independent and able to act, where necessary, in the interests of the Foundation.
