Diana Lloyd has been appointed General Manager of ForestWorks. Jane Calvert, ForestWorks Acting Chair, made the announcement this week, saying the Board was delighted to welcome Diana to the new role.
“Diana joined ForestWorks two years ago as the Contracts and Projects Manager and in that time she has demonstrated strong leadership skills.
“Most recently, Diana has been leading the development of the FOLS Skills Verification Program, in response to growing industry need for a platform to manage the skills of employees for improved safety in the workplace. She is also leading the development of a Forestry Better Business Program, currently being trialled in Tasmania,” said Jane.
Diana said ForestWorks would continue to work with stakeholders on new opportunities for industry skills development.
“It is an exciting time for ForestWorks, as we work with industry on new developments,” she said.
“I look forward to driving our services to support industry skill needs. ForestWorks is a well-known and respected industry body, that has a strong reputation and an excellent team,” said Diana.
Diana has a solid background in education and training, and as a practicing Forester in regional Victoria and South Australia. She has been a Director of Forestry SA and Australian Forest Growers. Her experience in the education sector includes roles at Southern Cross University and TAFE South Australia, in Mount Gambier. As well as being a qualified Forester, Diana has a Master’s degree in Professional Communications and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Former ForestWorks CEO Michael Hartman was earlier this year appointed CEO for Skills Impact. Skills Impact is one of five Skills Services Organisations (SSOs) appointed by the Commonwealth, to cover the skills standards needs for a diverse range of grown and renewable resource industries.
