Tasmania's public-sector superannuation fund, the Retirement Benefit Fund (RBF), has announced two new board directors as a result of recent elections.
The Tasmanian Electoral Commission informed RBF that members of the RBF Tasmanian Accumulation Scheme had appointed Neroli Ellis, currently secretary at the Tasmanian branch of the Australian Nursing Federation and former state finalist for Australian of the Year for her nursing advocacy work.
Former RBF corporate general manager and Tasplan investment manager John Mazengarb has been elected by members of the Contributory Scheme. Mazengarb is the current principal and Tasmanian state manager at Litmus Group, an independent member of the audit committee at Clarence City Council, and management consultant at Executive Management Consulting.
Both positions will commence in September subject to approval by the Tasmanian Governor.
John Harman will leave the board at the end of August, RBF said.
