G21 CHIEF executive officer Elaine Carbines will delay her departure until the end of 2020 to provide stability to G21\u2019s operations during the coronavirus pandemic.
\nMs Carbines had previously advised the board she would leave her role in early August, after 10 years in the job.
\nOn Tuesday, G21 chair Bill Mithen said the G21 board had welcomed Ms Carbines\u2019 offer to delay her departure.
\n\u201cIt is important that G21\u2019s regional coordination role, especially its Health & Wellbeing functions, have continuity during such a challenging time. A change of CEO, or potentially a period without a CEO, would be difficult.
\n\u201cComing out of COVID-19 will be a time when G21\u2019s regional coordination role will be important, especially through its Pillar working groups.
\n\u201cElaine\u2019s extensive experience will ensure G21 can help the region as it strives to meet the economic and social challenges of coronavirus.\u201d
\nMs Carbines said she offered to delay her departure to give the board \u201cbreathing space\u201d.
\n\u201cG21 board members are busy managing the impact of coronavirus in their respective organisations. It\u2019s a difficult time for everyone,\u201d Ms Carbines said.
\n\u201cI felt I could not leave the G21 board and staff in the lurch during the uncertainty of coronavirus.
\n\u201cG21 has an important role to play as we emerge from COVID-19. I want to ensure G21 is positioned to meet those challenges and to provide a smooth transition to the next CEO.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
