AIST president becomes chair of CareSuper
The president of the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST), Cate Wood, has been appointed as chair of industry fund CareSuper.
The superannuation fund confirmed Wood's appointment this week along with that of employer-director of the fund, David Michaelis, as deputy chair.
Wood comes to the chair of the industry fund with plenty of credentials, having previously been both the chief executive and a director of AGEST Super and the chief executive of the Trade Union Training Authority (TUTA).
Woods succeeds well-known superannuation fund identity Sandy Grant as the chair of the fund, with Grant continuing as an employer director.
The CareSuper Board has appointed member director Cate Wood as its new chair. Employer director David Michaelis has been appointed deputy chair.
Wood is also the current chair of the Women in Super organisation.
