New deputy chairperson for CSIRO Board
The Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Senator the Hon Kim Carr, has announced the promotion of Dr Terry Cutler to Deputy Chairperson of the CSIRO Board.
Dr Terry Cutler has been on the CSIRO Board since 2002. The deputy chairperson position became vacant when Professor Suzanne Cory’s term expired on 25 June 2009.
“I am delighted by the appointment of Dr Cutler who will provide important continuity in his role as the CSIRO Board’s longest-serving member,” Senator Carr said.
“Dr Cutler has made a valuable contribution to the work of the board over the past seven years and his considerable knowledge of the workings, responsibilities and interests of the board will be an ongoing benefit to CSIRO.
“The government is backing Australian science and research through its Super Science Initiative, which aims to support CSIRO and other organisations so that they can continue delivering high-impact outcomes in areas of national importance.
“It is an exciting time for science in Australia.”
CSIRO Chairman Dr John Stocker welcomed the appointment of Dr Cutler to the position of Deputy Chairperson.
