Three new members with a wealth of knowledge and experience have joined Uni Hub Spencer Gulf’s board.
Chris Stringer from Port Pirie, Danni Wilson from Port Augusta and Kylie Petherick from Port Lincoln have been appointed to the board for a three year term, joining existing board members Brenton Vanstone (chair), Anthea Pavy (deputy chair), Roger Kirchner, Reg Dennis and Sarah Joyce.
Uni Hub also recently farewelled Jaene McKnight from Rowe Partners in Port Augusta, who retired from the board at the end of December 2023.
