New chair at Anglicare
Evelyn Horton has served on the board since 2021.
Not-for-profit aged care provider Anglicare Sydney has appointed Evelyn Horton as its new chair.
Ms Horton is Commissioner of Superannuation in Tasmania, a director of the Australian Reinsurance Pool Corporation, chair of the Glebe Administration Board, and a member of the Standing Committee of the Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney.
She has served on the board of Anglicare Sydney since September 2021.
Chief executive officer Simon Miller welcomed Ms Horton to the role of chair. “Evelyn has been a valued member of the Anglicare board, and she is perfectly positioned to support the work of Anglicare.”
He added: “Her experience in the commercial, government and not-for-profit sectors is a great asset to us, as is her leadership, personal faith and commitment to Anglicare’s vision, mission and values.”
Ms Horton replaces Greg Hammond who has been Anglicare Sydney chair since July 2016. “Anglicare Sydney sincerely thanks Mr Hammond for his outstanding contribution to Anglicare during his more than eight years as chair,” Mr Miller said. “His contribution has ensured that Anglicare is in a strong position to serve those in need today and into the future.”
Ms Horton said she was delighted to step into the new role. “It is a privilege to be appointed chair of such a wonderful, mission-focused organisation as Anglicare Sydney. I’m grateful to the board for their support, and to Simon for his continued leadership and commitment to serving those in need in our communities. I look forward to this new chapter of service to the board and the Anglicare team.”
