AIST BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board has the authority to establish committees to
assist its work, but retains its overriding responsibility
for any delegated activity. The AIST committees provide
an opportunity for both trustee director and fund staff
members to work together to deliver AIST’s mission and
achieve its vision.
Each committee has a charter approved by the Board
which, among other things, establishes its role. Members
can access the Board charters from the AIST website. In
2010, AIST had the following formal committees:

Happy 20th Birthday CMSF! The focus for the 2010 CMSF
Conference Committee was looking at the future – yes, it had
been 20 years since the first CMSF was held in Wollongong
and the industry has experienced massive change and
growth, from infancy to young adulthood. The original steering
committee consisted of Ross Christie (Local Authorities
Super Board), Sandy Grant (Assistant General Manager,
Jacques Martin), Murray Jamieson (Manager Superannuation,
BHP), Mike McKay (Chairman of BUS and AUST), and
Mavis Robertson. There were 13 sponsors, 23 exhibitors
and 383 delegates. The conference had 16 plenary and
workshop sessions with 47 speakers. The keynote address
was given by then Treasurer, Paul Keating.
Fast forward …
CMSF 2010 had 41 plenary and workshop sessions and
50 speakers, 21 Industry Partners, 37 exhibitors and 1150
delegates. Now that we’d reached the 20-year milestone, the
Committee considered what the next 20 years would look
like. At the first CMSF, a large proportion of the audience
didn’t have mobile phones, communication was largely still
via telephone, fax and mail, and the internet was only being
used by universities – my, how far we’ve come!
The Committee was on a mission, debating topics, posing
ideas, discussing the theme and potential speakers – all with
a view to challenging, educating, supporting, and building
greater knowledge amongst delegates.
