“Ingrid is an experienced leader who is improving Council with her vision and organisational knowledge,” Ms. Clark said.
The review process included a staff feedback survey, which showed 100 per cent support for the CEO in all areas, acknowledging Ms. Stonhill’s consistent and strong leadership skills.
Key performance indicators Ms. Stonhill was assessed on included innovation and accountability, organisation capability and performance, resource, risk and sustainability management, and leadership and facilitation.
