Moira Watson
PhD, FAICD, FAIM, FGIA
Chair of the Board
Committee
Governance & Strategy Committee
Appointed December 2016
"I’m grateful to chair a Board that’s striking out differently to effect change – choosing to take risks and work in ambiguities that are often contrary to what happens in a Board."
