Both appointments were effective from 1 April.
AIST president, Catherine Bolger, said: “It’s a privilege to welcome two more high calibre directors to our Board as we continue to navigate the organisation through the challenges of a world impacted by the pandemic while continuing to set it up for success in the future”.
