Appointed after an external recruitment process, Karlene will take up the Chair position on 19 August 2021, from incumbent Rob Skinner, who steps down after nine years in the role.
WaterAid Australia is part of a global federation, alongside six other members: America, Canada, India, Japan, the UK and Sweden, who work together with partners around the world to unlock people’s potential with clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene.
Karlene will bring to WaterAid her extensive experience as a chair and non-executive director across a range of industries in both the private and public sector, including six years as a State Government Minister and three years as Chair of the National Water Commission.
