New president and board for EECCA
Hamish McGovern, managing director of Wattyl, has been nominated for the role of president of the Energy Efficiency Certificate Creators Association (EECCA) at the annual general meeting (AGM) held in Sydney.
McGovern takes over from Bruce Easton, chief executive officer of Ecovantage, who had nominated to step down. Easton held the position since the inception of the group in 2009 and steered the EECCA to become a peak national body influencing legislation, policy, regulations and compliance in the white (energy efficiency) certificate space.
The board has described Easton’s contribution as “visionary” and commended his “relentless dedication”.
The board has also expanded from eight to 11 members, which EECCA says is a demonstration of the strategic impetus that industry leaders are prepared to exert in the expansion, extension and harmonisation of market-based schemes across Australia.
New board members include: Stuart Edgley, managing director of Emerald Planet; Chris Mardon, founder of Energy Mad; and Rod Woolley, head of regulatory and compliance at LEDified.
