AustCham Shanghai Board Update
It is with both regret and congratulations that AustCham Shanghai accepts the resignation from Toby Graham, as a Non-Executive Director of the Board, Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee, as well as Chair of the Finance, Investment & Tax Forum.
Toby will soon be joining the Victoria Government Trade & Investment office in Shanghai as Investment Director. This appointment, in reference to Schedule B, Clause 2.6 of the AustCham Shanghai Members Charter, prevents Toby from continuing in his board position.
Toby has been a big contributor to the Chamber, playing a number of roles since 2017. He has brought dedication, a true sense of care and understanding of our members and community, and a wealth of knowledge to Chamber related discussions.
We congratulate Toby on his new appointment, thank him and SW Australia for their contributions and commitment and look forward to continuing our relationship with Toby as he takes on his new role.
Board Vacancy
AustCham Shanghai’s Nominations Committee will now follow Clause 9, Schedule B, of the Members Charter, to begin the process to recommend an appropriate candidate to the Board for a simple majority vote. The vacancy will be filled immediately after the Board decision, and the appointed person would be required to stand for reelection at the 2023 AGM.
If you would like to find out more about the vacancy process, please feel free to contact Heidi Dugan (heidi.dugan@austchamshanghai.com), Chair of AustCham Shanghai, Alexandra Chu (alex@ankengroup.com), Chair of the Nominations Committee, or Simon Woods (simon.woods@austchamshanghai.com), CEO & Executive Director.
