Taree Universities Campus is seeing the New Year in with three recently appointed Board Members adding their strength for a reassuring future.

2024 is shaping up as a year of setting strong foundations for Taree Universities Campus with the appointment of three new Board Members to support the campus as it is poised to relocate and expand into the previous Greater Taree City Council Administration building in coming weeks.

In recent Board meetings Taree Universities Campus (TUC) Chair, Dr Alison McIntosh, welcomed Graham Gardner, Narelle Campbell, and Anthony Paulson to expand the TUC Board to nine members:

  • Graham was Director of Planning and other matters at both Taree and Gloucester Councils;

  • Narelle was, on multiple occasions, Station Leader for the Australian Antarctic Division, and a former NSW Australian of the Year Finalist; and

  • Anthony is Deputy General Manager for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health with Joint Colleges Training Services.

Alison notes: “These members bring a wealth of knowledge and broad range of experiences. Due to their various respected roles locally and nationwide, they draw together strategies from a broad network of understanding, and give governance expertise to ensure local students and stakeholders here on the MidCoast are well supported in education initiatives”.

CEO of Taree Universities Campus, Donna Ballard affirms, “We are extremely fortunate to attract Board members of this calibre. Their proven capacity for creating meaningful links in developing regional tertiary education opportunities ensures we are well placed for current and future opportunities.”

Taree Universities Campus is dedicated to connecting people to learning and opportunities close to home. This is so locals on the Mid Coast can reach their highest potential and gain access to career and personal development whilst remaining close to their family, Country and community. The additional strengths these new board members lend to TUC’s structure further add excitement and buoyancy to the start of the new year.
