The board has welcomed new member representative director Anthony Pavey, on-site secretary of the Maryvale sub-branch of the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU) Pulp and Paper Workers District.
Mr Pavey also sits on a number of other boards and committees, including the Maryvale Friendly Society board and the Gippsland Trades and Labor Council committee.
“Anthony’s depth of knowledge and understanding of the pulp and paper industry will be a significant advantage to the board and to our membership,” First Super chief executive Bill Watson said.
“He has a vast working knowledge of the industry and will no doubt assist us in making decisions that reflect members’ real experiences and needs.”
Also joining the First Super board is compliance officer for the CFMMEU Casey Thompson. She will be observing the board and committees as an associate member director.
She will be the fund’s second associate director.
“Casey’s background in governance and risk management, along with her advocacy for the rights of workers, makes her a great fit for this role,” Mr Watson said.
