Trio plays critical role in building regional development

Three new members have joined the Board of Regional Development Australia Central Coast (RDACC) – Ian Lynch, Sarah El-Moselhi and Karen Tucker.

Chairman of the Board Lawrie McKinna said he was confident the three new members would help bring a renewed vision and enthusiasm to ensure the best possible outcomes are being achieved for the people of the Central Coast.

“Our Board has always comprised a panel of business and community leaders who work tirelessly to drive economic and employment growth across the Central Coast,” he said.

“I know that these three new Board members will also play a critical role in helping to develop our regional economy and create local employment opportunities.”

As the CEO of Pacific Link Housing, Ian Lynch oversees the management of more than 1,400 social, affordable and market properties, and works to add to the supply of new middle and low income rental housing stock through development, construction and advocacy.

Sarah El-Moselhi is a communications and media executive whose expertise encompasses a broad spectrum of communications disciplines, including executive and corporate communications, with a focus on advocacy and stakeholder engagement.

Karen Tucker has more than 20 years’ experience in both state and local government where she held senior management roles.

She has successfully led teams in project management, strategic planning, recreation planning and open space.

McKinna said RDACC had a strong track record of achievement, and thanked all the previous Board members for their service to the local community.

The new RDACC Board is made up of: Chair Lawrie McKinna; Deputy Chair Anna Cruckshank; Treasurer Mike Dowling; and Board Members Stephen Glen, Chris Smith, Ian Lynch, Sarah El-Moselhi and Karen Tucker.
