Alison Maclean has become a first time Intereach director and its chairman in one day.
At its recent annual meeting, Deniliquin businessman Rob Brown stepped down after four years as chair.
Ms Maclean was one of two new directors elected to the board during the meeting, along with another new director in Pamela Macdonald.
After the annual meeting, Ms Maclean was then voted in as the new chair.
Intereach described Ms Maclean as “a skilled strategist and change agent”, saying she “brings extensive experience across government and community sectors”.
Pat Fogarty and Annette Radford were re-elected to the board.
