New chairman for WA Super
West Australian-based industry superannuation fund, WA Super, has moved to address the question of independent directors on its board with the appointment of well-known Perth business identity Tim Shanahan.
Shanahan is currently chief executive of the West Australian Chamber of Minerals and Energy and has served as the chair of the fund's Compliance and Risk Management Committee since 2004.
He succeeds Nick Catania as chairman of the fund and will assume his role from 1 July.
The fund is expected to announce a number of other board appointments, with two other directors due to finish their terms at the same time as Catania.
