The Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST) has appointed CareSuper deputy chair Cate Wood as its new president.
Wood replaces current president Gerard Noonan, who has completed his maximum two-year tenure.
"Cate's wide and varied experience in superannuation - as well as her commitment to the not-for-profit ethos and improving super adequacy for women - made her an ideal AIST president," AIST chief executive Fiona Reynolds said.
Wood is a director of AIST and chair of the national Women in Super network.
She is also a member of the ACT Treasury Investment Advisory Board and chair of the AIST education committee. She has also held the role of fund secretary at AGEST Super.
Wood joined the CareSuper board in 2000, and until last month was a member of the AGEST board.
Noonan would continue to play an active role at AIST as chair of the institute's policy committee and as deputy-president, Reynolds said.
He is also chair of Media Super and president of the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors.
