The Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST) has appointed Meegan George to the newly-created role of executive manager of the industry body's education team.
In her new job, George will actively seek to expand and enhance the AIST's education offerings to trustee directors and fund staff.
She has over 17 years' experience in the finance industry, most recently with Finsia, where she worked with key Finsia and industry stakeholders to develop the financial services professional credential in private and business banking.
Prior to that, she worked with other financial institutions, such as RGA International, AMP and JP Morgan, to develop education to enhance specialist and practitioner skills.
AIST chief executive Fiona Reynolds said the role of education within the superannuation industry was becoming increasingly important, especially as it faced new reforms and regulations.
"It's vital that our member funds have access to a high-quality offering of education that is both accessible and relevant to trustee directors and fund staff," Reynolds said.
