The Otago Community Trust has announced a new trustee, while the charitable trust’s chairman will continue for a second four-year term. Dunedin businesswoman Toni Talijancich had been appointed as a trustee from January 30, while chairman Andy Kilsby would remain for a second four-year term, the trust said in a statement. Trustees are selected for their professional or community-based experience and must live within a trust’s region. Mr Kilsby welcomed Ms Talijancich to the board, saying she "brings a wealth of knowledge". Mr Kilsby said he was honoured to continue in his capacity, while Ms Talijancich said the trust played a vital role in strengthening communities across the region.
