Deaner said The Councillors are well recognised within the industry through the breadth and depth of their experience, achievements and contribution to the industry. I would like to thank outgoing Councillors Amanda Higgs, Morgan Jaffitt and Andrew Ogilvie for their service and I look forward to working with our new Council and again with President Chris Oliver-Taylor and Vice-President Ben Grant .
