Date Time Jock Laurie Named New AWI Chairman The Board of Australian Wool Innovation is pleased to announce the appointment of Jock Laurie, a champion of Australian agriculture, as its new Chairman. The appointment, which is effective immediately, follows the decision of former Chairman Colette Garnsey to step down from the role to ensure a smooth transition and knowledge transfer ahead of the Annual General Meeting in November. Ms Garnsey, who has served on the Board for 10 years, the last three years as Chairman, had previously announced her intention to retire at the AGM. She will remain on the Board as a director until the AGM to ensure an orderly handover to Jock Laurie.
