VicSuper director appointed to First State Super board
VicSuper director Travis Bates, who was first appointed in mid-2019, has joined the board of the newly-merged VicSuper and First State Super.
Bates is a member director, nominated by the Community and Public Sector Union. Bates has worked at EPA Victoria since 2011 as an environmental officer and project coordinator.
Bates is joined by Gabrielle Bell, Patricia Faulkner, and Antoinette Masiero on the new board. Sue Carter and Rod Harty have stepped down from the First State Super board.
"Last year our Boards set the goal to finalise the merger by 1 July 2020; and despite the challenges posed by COVID-19 over the past six months we are pleased to say that we have brought our two funds together as planned," said VicSuper's former CEO Michael Dundon. "This would not have been possible without the dedication and commitment of our respective teams who despite the difficult external environment, were determined to finalise this merger to benefit our members."
