Newcastle businesswoman and former general manager of the Newcastle Herald, Julie Ainsworth, has joined the Greater Charitable Foundation's Board of Trustees, the bank announced Friday.
Ms Ainsworth has held more than 20 directorships and advisory positions on not-for-profits, associations and charities over the past two decades, including a board seat on the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation, and joins the Greater Charitable Foundation board after the retirement of inaugural trustee and board chair Ann Thurlow in November 2022, and after members voted to approve a $20 billion merger of the Newcastle Permanent and Greater banks the same month.
