Universities Minister, Shane Reti, has announced two new appointments to the University of Otago Council.
Chris Hopkins and Dr Peter Bramley will join the Council.
Mr Hopkins is a professional director and business mentor with extensive leadership experience as a chief executive and managing director, as well as strong financial management expertise. He is currently Chair of the Dunedin International Airport Board.
Dr Bramley is a consultant and professional director with extensive experience in health management, including serving as chief executive of a former district health board. He has also lectured at both the University of Canterbury and the University of Otago.
“I thank both appointees for taking on these important governance roles and acknowledge outgoing members Malcolm Wong and Hon Clare Curran for their service. Their contributions to the Council are greatly appreciated,” says Dr Reti.
“Effective university councils play a key role in building the skills, knowledge, and leadership New Zealand needs for the future.”
