ISCA Welcomes New Member Director and Farewells Four Directors
03 December 2018
ISCA:
New faces and farewells for the ISCA Board
after the 2018 Annual General Meeting held yesterday at
Lendlease’
Sydney office.
ISCA welcomed two new Board Directors and saw four Directors retire from
their positions. The occasion was also marked by the
announcement of ISCA’s long-standing Chair, David Singleton AM, retiring
as Chair with the appointment of Independent Director and CEO
of
Moreland Energy Foundation, Alison Rowe, accepting the position as
ISCA’s new Chair.
Congratulations to
Transurban’s Head of Sustainability, Matthew Brennan,
who won the member election to join the Board as the new member
Director. Matthew brings with him over twenty years of experience in
corporate responsibility and
sustainability across private and public
asset management and operations, within Australia and overseas.
"I joined to help carry on the great work by the Board that’s taken ISCA
to the successful place where it is today and to do my bit to ensure the
roads sector in particular continues to enhance its sustainability
performance. Also, to provide an asset owner and operator’s perspective
on matters", said Matthew.
Matt brings a detailed understanding of the current key sustainability
opportunities and challenges being faced by infrastructure organisations
in Australia and North America, the benefits of adopting a strong
sustainability agenda, and how to leverage good sustainability
performance on a project(s) to transform the overall sustainability of
an organisation and vica versa.
"My vision is to champion the Sustainable Development Goals and provide
a model for other sectors to emulate in Australia. To then share the
lessons learnt globally and use this momentum to help create an
international peak body for infrastructure sustainability"
"I'm looking forward to a stimulating and engaging debate on how to
ensure ISCA's ongoing success"
Retiring Chair, David Singleton AM, welcomed Alison and Matthew to the
ISCA Board and also took the opportunity to extend the team’s deep
gratitude to those Directors retiring this year.
John Holland’s Chief Strategy Officer, Jayne Whitney, retired at the AGM
and has served on the Board since its earliest days, in 2011. She has
held the position of Deputy Chair since 2016, and in August this year
stepped down to be replaced as Deputy Chair by Executive General Manager
of Lendlease, Sarah Marshall.
“Jayne’s strategic vision and guidance will be greatly missed, and we
thank her for her immense contribution,” said David.
This year, we also say farewell to two long-serving Member Directors,
Menno Henneveld AM, Principal at
Laing O’Rourke who joined in 2013 and
David Kinniburgh, Australian Market Leader, Transportation at
GHD, who
joined shortly after in 2014. Also stepping down is Independent
Director, Leisel Moorhead Partner at
QIC Global Infrastructure, having
served one full term.
ISCA’s Board is now made up of eleven industry leaders across the built
environment who will steer the direction of ISCA to achieve its mission
of accelerating sustainability in infrastructure through collaboration.
“On behalf of the Board, our sincere thanks to the passionate ISCA
operations team, each a leader in their own right for their exceptional
efforts during a year of much change and growth,” said David.
Alison and Matthew are looking forward to working with the team and ISCA
members whose inclusive, open and collaborative support is vital to
deliver positive outcomes for the infrastructure supply chain and ISCA’s
wider beneficiaries.
