Stakeholder Update - Interm VicForests CEO arrangements

As announced last Friday, Robert Green will be leaving VicForests to pursue an opportunity to lead Kaingaroa Timberlands in New Zealand.  
The VicForests Board has asked Nathan Trushell to step in to cover the CEO role while we embark on the formal recruitment process to find a replacement for Robert.

Handover between Robert and Nathan will occur during November and the Board has every confidence that Nathan and our Senior Management team will manage this transition effectively. 

On behalf of the VicForests Board, I congratulate Robert on his appointment and wish him every success. 

While it is sad to see Robert departing our shores it is encouraging to see the talented people within the Victorian timber industry being sought by others for their skills and experience. Indeed, he will remain part of our industry albeit it in New Zealand. 

The recruitment process to find a permanent replacement for the role of VicForests CEO will begin shortly.  

I wish to thank all of you for your commitment and contribution to our industry and we look forward to continuing to work together with you.

Kinds regards

Michael Humphris
Acting VicForests Chair
