Announcement posted by Communications Alliance 05 Dec 2006

Neville Stevens takes another industry leadership role
The newly elected board of Communications Alliance has chosen Neville Stevens as its independent non-executive Chairman.
Mr Stevens was Chairman of the Australian Communications Industry Forum (ACIF) when it joined with the Service Providers Association Inc (SPAN) to form Communications Alliance on September 1 this year. He has since occupied the position of Co-chairman of the transitional Communications Alliance board with former SPAN Executive Chairman John Kranenburg.
Mr Stevens said he was looking forward to being at the helm of the first elected Communications Alliance board as it charted the future direction of the new industry body.
“We have a group of extremely capable directors on the new board and I have no doubt that we will be able to make a valuable contribution to planning the growth of our industry,” Mr Stevens said.
“I would also like to thank John Kranenburg for the tremendous effort he put into ensuring the success of the merger of our two organisations.”
