WOMEN'S advocacy group Aware has appointed long-time member
Corinna Lim as its first executive director.
The Association of Women for Action and Research (Aware) on
Monday announced that the 45-year-old corporate lawyer has taken up
the new post, which was created to professionalise its
operations.
Previously, Aware's executive committee, made up of volunteers,
had overseen its operations.
The appointment of Ms Lim follows a change in Aware's
Constitution to provide for a seven-member board, instead of a
12-member executive committee, made in 2008.
The change was approved by the Registrar of Societies in October
last year and will take effect at Aware's next annual general
meeting.
With Ms Lim taking the reins, the board can focus on broad
policy-making and governance, leaving the day-to-day management of
Aware in her hands.
