“Vision Super’s roots in the local government sector are deep. I’ve worked in local government for 25 years and I’m passionate about the difference it makes to people’s lives. Vision Super is there to make a difference to retirement outcomes for the dedicated, amazing people who work in local government and beyond – I’m excited to help guide the fund during my term on the board,” she said.
Vaidyanath would replace Geoff Lake, who had reached the maximum 12-year tenure on the Vision Super board.
