The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) has made a series of appointments as part of its policy team restructure.
ASFA has restructured its policy work and accountabilities into three areas, to increase efficiency amid increasing policy issues and information coordination.
"Policy is now a very complex business," ASFA chief executive Pauline Vamos said.
"ASFA in particular is charged with developing policy which is first and foremost in the best interest of fund members and ensuring the system is sustainable and delivers on its role as the provider of long-term capital."
As part of the restructure, Fiona Galbraith has been moved from a senior policy adviser role to director of policy and Tony Keir has been promoted to the role of general manager of policy operations.
"Fiona will be focused on external issues including the development of strategic policy positions and approaches, management of relationships with all regulators and Treasury, and also advocacy strategy and delivery," Ms Vamos said.
"Tony will provide oversight of the policy team and focus specifically on internal operations, including coordination of all policy work such as submissions and member communications, as well as management of best practice papers and support for all policy councils, working groups and advisory panels."
The changes have also resulted in Gordon Noble's title being changed to director, investments and the economy, to reflect the role's focus on delivering ASFA strategy to ensure the super pool can invest long term and fulfil its role in supporting the domestic economy.
The changes come after ASFA's general manager of policy and industry practice, Margaret Stewart, departed earlier this year due to illness, giving the association opportunity to revisit its existing policy structure.
