THE management committee of Cruise Down
Under today announced that it has decided
to bring back past chairman Chris White into
the same role until the organisation’s annual
general meeting next year, which will take
place in Perth on 05 Sep 2014.
In a statement issued today, the committee

with strong tourism marketing skills with
connections in the national and international
tourism environment “who can provide
leadership and advocacy at a crucial time
in the ongoing development of the cruise
shipping market in our region.”
The 2013-14 management committee
includes David Brown from Cruise Hunter and
Richard Schoonraad of Tourism NT as CDU’s
joint deputy chairmen.
Thor Elliott of Fremantle Ports is treasurer,
while other members include Tyler Wood from
Bob Wood Cruise Group, John McKenna of
Sydney Ports Corporation, the South Australian
Tourism Commission’s Leah Clarke, and Tim
Short from Hobart City Council.
CDU said the new Chairman would work
to “establish a succession plan to guide the
organisation for the long term”.
