These three candidates were nominated by PASA members as the outstanding choices for the three available Board Director posts, meaning they were duly elected without need for a ballot. Girish Menezes and Tracy Weller will sit on the Board for the first time, whilst Gary Evans has been re-elected for a second term - having served on the Board since 2013. They will join existing Board members Margaret Snowdon OBE, Kim Gubler and Peter Dyer.

We feel we have a strong and agile team, combining the skills and experience of our new and existing Board Directors, and I look forward to working with our new colleagues to take PASA forward in achieving our goals of raising pensions administration standards and improving member outcomes. 2016 continues to be an important year for us.”
