Issued on: 6 April 2009
The Pensions Trust is pleased to announce the appointment of Lynda Howe as the new Chair of its Board of Directors and Keith Nunn as the new Deputy Chair. Lynda replaces John Alleston who retired as Chair after five years in the post and Keith replaces Clive Unitt who has also retired this year. In addition, three new Directors have been elected to the Board, Frances Richardson and Robert Vandersluis join as Employer Nominated Directors and Mary Doddridge joins as a Member Nominated Director.
New Chair, Lynda Howe said: “On behalf of my fellow Directors, I would like to thank John Alleston for steering the Trust so successfully through the past five, eventful, years. I am very much looking forward to continuing where he left off.”
As part of a recent governance review, the Board decided to reduce the number of elected Directors from the current 16 to 10; and in addition two further Directors can be co-opted by the Board. This change is being phased in over two years, with 12 elected Directors (six employer and six member nominated) in 2009/10 reducing to 10 elected Directors, again half and half employer and member nominated, from 2010/11 onwards.
Board elections are held each year. The maximum period of continuous service is 10 years.
