Update from the 2023 AGM and Board election

We are pleased to advise of the following Members that have been elected to our Mutual Board:

• A/Prof Michael Hollands - re-elected
• Dr Anna Windsor – elected (following an interim appointment to fill a casual vacancy)
• Dr Denise Glennon - new to the Board

The AGM saw the retirement of long-standing Board member, Dr David Gilpin. Dr Gilpin has served on the Mutual Board since 2012, has been a member of the Insurance Board since 2021 and has been a long-term member of the Clinical Underwriting Committee (of which he is Chair), a role he will continue to undertake.

Dr Gilpin’s deep understanding of our business and the Australian medical indemnity market and his passionate advocacy on behalf of the profession has enabled him to make a significant contribution to MDA National and the industry more generally during his many years of tenure.

We extend a heartfelt thanks to Dr Gilpin for his dedicated service to MDA National.
