Australia Council CEO Steps Down
The CEO of the Australia Council, Ms Jennifer Bott, has resigned and will leave Australia’s primary arts funding and advisory body on 19 September to take up the position of chief executive of the University of New South Wales Foundation. CEO since February 1999, Ms Bott was reappointed for a further three years in February 2004. “I am very proud to have taken the Australia Council for the Arts to a new stage of its development, and to have worked with so many talented and committed people along the way”, Ms Bott declared. “It's been an exhilarating and illuminating journey. Now it’s time for someone else to bring their vision to the Australia Council and to the many challenges facing the Australian arts. Australia Council chairman, James Strong AO, praised Ms Bott’s “great legacy”. “Jennifer Bott and her management team and staff have achieved significant new funding for the arts as well as new policy and program priorities such as education and the arts, Indigenous Arts, international activities, artists' earned income and whole of government strategies.” “The arts catalyst model, which enables the Australia Council to have greater flexibility and impact, gives the organisation a central role in Australia’s future as a creative nation.” For more details, CLICK HERE
