LUCRF and ACSRF win AIST/Tyndall scholarships
LUCRF Super deputy chairman John Carlile and Australian Catholic Superannuation and Retirement fund deputy chief executive Sam Hallab have been awarded the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST) and Tyndall Suncorp Investment Management 2010 educational scholarships, valued at $10,000 each.
The scholarships are for a trustee director and a fund staff member of AIST to complete superannuation-related educational courses.
Carlile, who has been a trustee director with LUCRF for 15 years, said he plans to attend an international corporate governance course in Paris next May.
“With industry funds increasingly investing overseas, it’s really important that we have a greater understanding of the governance standards and attitudes in other parts of the world, not just Australia, where we take our high level of governance for granted,” he said.
Hallab plans to attend a Harvard Business School course on the performance measurement of not-for-profit organisations.
“This course is a wonderful opportunity to look at ways to improve the effectiveness of not-for-profit organisations in both good and difficult times,” he said.
James Nguyen, investment specialist and account manager with Tyndall Suncorp Investment Management, said the scholarships served a valuable role in raising professional standards and furthering knowledge in the financial services sector.
