Welcome to the July issue of Communiqué
It was a great honour and privilege to be unanimously nominated by my fellow directors to be Chairman of the Board.
At the June board meeting we received notification from outgoing Chairman Clint Thomas of his resignation from the board. On behalf of the board and our members, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank him for his wonderful service over 18 years including five years as Chairman to the Bank and wish him well in his future endeavours.
We have also received notification from Director BRIG Jane Spalding of her intention to retire from the Board on the 30th of June. Jane has served the Australian Military Bank Board for 11 years and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Jane for her wonderful service to the Bank and wish her every success on her deployment in Afghanistan.
One of the key advantages of the Military Rewards Account is that it gives back to the Defence community and our charity partners, who are very close to our heart. With the bank matching our members ‘cents gifting’ program, together we have raised over $100,000 to our defence charity partners Legacy, Mates4Mates, RSL DefenceCare & Soldier On.
To coincide with this achievement, in this edition we profile Legacy who share with us the great work they do in supporting the Defence community and encourage you to show your support throughout Legacy Week in September.
Once again, on behalf of the board, we would like to thank you for your continued support and patience as we transition to a new banking system. A system that will position the bank to be better able to meet the challenges facing banking in the digital world.
Regards,
John Brooks
Chairman
