AUSTRALIA | Kathryn Greiner has been appointed to the NSA Board of Directors, something she will lend her expertise and passion to.
National Seniors Australia (NSA) Chair of the Board, Ross Glossop, has announced the appointment of Kathryn Greiner AO to the NSA Board of Directors.
“Ms Greiner brings to the board distinguished experience in strategic leadership, government relations and advocacy gained throughout an esteemed career in public and private companies, government bodies and non-profit organisations,” Glossop said.
“This experience combined with a deep desire to help NSA defend, protect and promote older Australians sees Ms Greiner not only eminently qualified to join the board but entirely suited. Since our inception in 1976, NSA has grown our community to 250,000+ older Australians while continuing to evolve to meet the changing needs of the growing numbers we represent.
Glossop said that older Australians face a range of issues, including ageism, ability to age in their own home, health and aged care affordability, cost of living pressures and digital literacy. He said these challenges can be addressed only if government, industry and the broader community work together, and that Greiner will play a critical role in these engagements.
“While much of NSA’s work prosecutes the needs of older Australians, we also promote their contribution. Ms Greiner recently presided as a judge of the Inaugural Everald Compton Community Champion Medal, which celebrates older unsung heroes. We are pleased to work together more formally in a long term capacity. Ms Greiner is warmly welcomed to the NSA board and family.”
Greiner has embraced her appointment to the board of Australia’s peak consumer body for older Australians with equal enthusiasm and optimism.
“I have long admired and respected the credible, evidence based work of National Seniors Australia, and more recently, was honoured to be involved with the Everald Compton Medal, which gave me an invaluable insight and greater appreciation for NSA’s work,” Greiner said.
“I am thrilled to be a part of an organisation that works fiercely for change and is remarkably effective in bringing about this change – the freeze on deeming rates and PBS medicines, energy rebates, permanent increase to the work bonus and the proposed cash mandate are just some recent examples of NSA’s successful track record.
Greiner said she looked forward to drawing upon her experience to help NSA build on its successes while seeking and securing the many more that are yet to come – for the older Australians of today – and tomorrow.
