Lighting Council CEO appointed Secretary General of Global Lighting Association

Lighting Council Australia’s CEO, Bryan Douglas, has been appointed Secretary General of the Global Lighting Association.

The Global Lighting Association is a group of peak national and regional lighting associations representing over 5000 lighting manufacturers and US$50 billion of annual sales. The position is based in Canberra and Douglas will undertake the role in addition to his current position as CEO of Lighting Council Australia.

The chairman of Lighting Council Australia, Russell Loane OAM, said the appointment by the board of the Global Lighting Association is a reflection of the high regard held for both Douglas and Lighting Council Australia.

Loane said that Lighting Council Australia is a foundation member of the predecessor organisation to the Global Lighting Association and has played a prominent role in its deliberations. Douglas has chaired the association’s Environment Committee since its inception.

Douglas said the appointment will provide Lighting Council Australia with special insights at a time of significant change in the global lighting industry. “With the advent of large-scale LEDification and digitalisation, and the associated profound growth in manufacturing, it is an exciting time to assume the role of Secretary General of the Global Lighting Association,” he said.
