FEAL chief departs

Chief executive officer of the Fund Executives Association Ltd (FEAL) Michael Baldwin will depart his position later this month, with Joanna Davison to take over until a suitable replacement has been found.

FEAL chair Neil Cochrane said Baldwin had made an enormous contribution to the association over the last 12 years and left it in a very healthy position.

"In Michael's time as CEO, FEAL established the industry's first Masters Degree in Leadership (in partnership with Melbourne Business School), initiated the Fund Executive of the Year Award recognising outstanding leadership in super, founded a mentoring initiative, several international scholarships and has delivered many successful forums and conferences," Cochrane said.

"As a result we are well placed to continue to build on Michael's legacy."
