The ACEL Board has the option to appoint up to 4 Members as Independent Directors. Independent Directors have specific skills, capabilities and/or experience that the Board believes are appropriate for the Board in terms of diversity and representation, and which complement the Branch Appointed Directors.
As a passionate advocate for teachers and school leaders who has become renowned education leader and expert, please join me in congratulating Adam Voigt who has been elected as an ACEL Independent Director. Adam’s career in schools spans more than three decades as a teacher, principal, system leader and organizational leader. His work as a ‘coalface’ educator included teaching and leading in some of Australia’s most challenging and disadvantaged government schools. Adam is a regular and trusted voice in the Australian media regarding the schooling landscape. He is well positioned to contribute to the next strategic focus of ACEL. Adam sees participation as an Independent Board Member of ACEL as a legacy opportunity not to be passed by.
Please join me in welcoming Adam to the ACEL Board.
