I am very pleased to announce that Josh Leigh accepted an invitation to join the AIG Board, filling the casual vacancy created by Wendy Beets’s resignation as an AIG director. 

Josh is an early career geoscientist who was one of the driving forces behind the establishment and success of AIG’s National Graduate Group.  He brings considerable enthusiasm and personal understanding of issues facing graduates and early career geoscientists that I’m confident will have a positive influence in board deliberations and decisions.

Josh is currently Principal Geologist with EARTH AI, a Brisbane-based explorer.

Please join with me in welcoming Josh to his new role, which he will hold until the next Annual General Meeting.

I would like to sincerely thank Wendy for her contribution to our Institute through her work as a Director and, recently, as Vice President. Wendy will continue as a member of AIG’s Publications Committee which helps to manage AIG’s print and on-line publications, and development of the Institute’s website and social media offerings. 

Congratulations Josh!

Andy Wilde has accepted the role of AIG Vice President. Welcome Andy to your expanded role.

Andrew Waltho
