SNIA Appoint new Board of Directors
April 15, 2008: The Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) for Australia and New Zealand has announced its board of directors for 2008/09.
The new appointments include Kate Walker, CEO of the Records Management Association of Australia (RMAA) who has been appointed to the board in an advisory capacity. SNIA has been strengthening ties with the RMAA and the latest appointment shows just how far this co-operation has come.
Jacob Van der Eyk, Chairman of SNIA ANZ believes that it is extremely reassuring to see so many major companies reaffirm their commitment. “We are making significant changes to the outlook of the organisation by bringing end users and records management representatives into SNIA ANZ. This will further enhance our capability to reach all sectors of the information management community with our educational awareness programs,” he said.
According to Van der Eyk, extending the board in this way means SNIA is now better equipped and resourced and has given a voice to a broader community.
“Their influence will help balance our strategy and ensure our programs cater for the differing types of membership and a broader extent of end users across the region.”
