Care Super has appointed Sandy Grant to the fund's board, following the resignation of one of its directors.
David Purchase resigned from the board due to work commitments. He had held a position on the board since 2000.
Grant has been involved in the industry fund sector since 1997. He has worked for Industry Fund Services as a managing director and was chief executive of the $13 billion fund, Cbus, from 2004 to 2008.
He is also a director of Members Equity and the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees.
"The board is extremely pleased to have secured someone of the calibre of Sandy Grant, who brings a wealth of experience and commercial insight," Care Super's chair Barry Watchorn said.
Grant will serve as an employer representative on the fund's board.
Industry funds are governed by a representative trustee model. Each board is now made up of an equal number of employer and employee (union) representatives.
