Graham Muir has been re-elected Chairman of the Perth Convention Bureau for his third 12 month term. His appointment was confirmed at a meeting of the Bureau’s new Board of Directors, convened after the Annual General Meeting at the Perth Convention Exhibition Centre.

Mr Muir will shed the executive management duties he has performed for the past year following the appointment of Ross McCullogh as the Bureau’s new Managing Director.

Mr MacCullogh, who has held the position of Director of Destination Development with Tourism Western Australia for the past two years, is due to take up his new role on November 19.

Debbie Anne Scott, Managing Director of EECW Pty Ltd, will continue as Vice Chairman after being re-elected unopposed for a second two-year term.

Robert Clifford, General Manager of the Perth Convention Exhibition Centre, returns to the Board as an elected Director after replacing his predecessor Paul D’Arcy on the Board as an Alternate Director mid-way through the year.

New faces on the Board are Chad Daly, General Manager of the Rydges Hotel Perth, and Kelsie Johnston, Sales and Marketing Manager with the Esplanade Hotel Fremantle.

They join existing elected Directors James Allen (Executive General Manager Hotels, InterContinental Burswood Resort and Holiday Inn Burswood); David Chaplin (General Manager, Duxton Hotel Perth); and Pauline Walker (Business Development, Linneys Jewellery Pty Ltd).

Tourism Western Australia Commissioner David Mazitelli and a nominee from the City of Perth, together with up to five co-opted Consultative Directors comprise the rest of the Board.
