Macedon Ranges councillor Janet Pearce was appointed as vice president of the Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA) board.
The association aims to provide support to councils and councillors in good governance.
Elected on November 20 last year, Cr Pearce said she is looking forward to her new role.
“The VLGA has a proven track record of collectively supporting councils and councillors to perform at the highest level, so that they are [best-placed] to deliver consistent and enduring outcomes for their communities. I am excited to play an instrumental role in that journey,” Cr Pearce said in a statement.
“I look forward to working with the VLGA’s [chief executive] Kathryn Arndt, VLGA president, Cr Grace La Vella, the VLGA team, and my fellow board members in progressing the organisation’s key strategic objectives and continuing to support councillors across the local government sector in good governance and effective leadership,” she said.
Ms Arndt said that she was glad to announce Cr Pearce’s appointment.
“I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Cr Pearce on her appointment, and I look forward to working with her as the VLGA continues its journey in inspiring and supporting councillors in good governance and empowering them to be high calibre leaders and ethical decision makers,” Ms Arndt said.
