After serving nine years as CEO of the National Marine Safety Committee (NMSC)’s Secretariat, Maurene Horder has resigned to pursue other interests.
What started as an 18-month appointment for Maurene in 1999 turned into many years in the challenging role to assist the NMSC in achieving national marine safety reform and standards development.
NMSC’s Independent Chairman Neil Aplin said that while the NMSC Members were extremely disappointed that Maurene was leaving the organisation, he noted she had achieved a great deal and is leaving at a time when the bulk of standards were either complete or well advanced.
“Quite simply, there are many initiatives that have been realised largely as a result of Maurene’s perseverance and guidance,” he said.
Horder thanked her colleagues within NMSC and the industry for their support and friendship over her time as CEO.
“It has been a privilege working in the marine sector and I am grateful for the support and co-operation I have received from the many stakeholders who have participated in the work of the NMSC”.
She said she was pleased to see the great progress being made around Australia in marine safety reform.
Fellow staff and industry colleagues alike will miss Maurene’s leadership, expertise and humour. Horder will officially leave her role in early October 2008.
