Speaking on the various reappointments, Pinto said he was honoured to have been re-elected as president and chair of CPA Australia.
“It is a genuine privilege to continue serving our members in this capacity for another 12 months,” he said.
“I would also like to congratulate Warren McRae and Louise Cox on their re-election as Deputy Presidents for the coming year. I look forward to working closely with them and our fellow directors as we strive together to deliver even greater value to all members of CPA Australia.
“We warmly congratulate Louise Cox and Bernard Che-Wai Poon on their re-appointment for a three-year term, and we look forward to welcoming Carmen Wee, who will join the board as a new director once the regulatory steps are completed.”
Adding to this announcement, Pinto noted that CPA would see the retirement of Bryan Chung from the board following a three-year term.
“Bryan made valuable contributions to the Board and its subcommittees during his tenure. I’d like to express my deepest thanks to Bryan for his significant contributions as a director and for his dedication to the members of CPA Australia,” Pinto said.
