Snowy Monaro Regional Council has this week welcomed the organisation's new permanent Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Noreen Vu.
Ms Vu joins Council following a successful tenure as the head of Weddin Shire Council in the state's central west.
'It's a real privilege to be joining Council here in the Snowy Monaro, and I'm looking forward to getting to know the people and places that have made this region so well-renowned across Australia,' said CEO Noreen Vu.
'In my first week here, I'm busy hitting the road to meet the hard-working teams at our depots, facilities and offices across the region. With so much exciting and important work ahead of us, I want our people to know that I'll be working closely with them to deliver our community's priorities over the coming months and years.'
The new chief brings significant experience and expertise to the Snowy Monaro, with a professional background that includes senior roles in all levels of Australian government across strategy, policy and asset management and numerous post-graduate and undergraduate academic qualification covering multiple disciplines relevant to the role.
'I'm really excited to welcome Ms Vu as she joins us here in the Snowy Monaro, and I can't wait to see what we will achieve together for our community,' said Mayor Chris Hanna.
'Ms Vu's demonstrated commitment to local grassroots engagement, connecting with community members face-to-face and focus on working with local people on the decisions that affect them was a key factor in her appointment to the role.'
'There's plenty of work ahead of us. Ms Vu brings the experience and skills to provide the leadership we need as we continue to plan and deliver the projects and strategies the Snowy Monaro needs right now and for the future to come.'
