MASP’s Board of Directors is pleased to announce Charmaine Calis as the organisation’s new full time CEO.
MASP Board Chair Mary Rydberg said Mrs Calis’ appointment came after a comprehensive recruitment process.
“This decision reflects our commitment to selecting the most appropriate and qualified candidate,” she said.
“Charmaine’s experience, proven leadership, and exceptional vision for the future stood out among a highly competitive field. The Board of Directors looks forward to working with Charmaine and staff as we continue our commitment to achieving a community with individuals and families equipped to lead safe, secure, healthy and fulfilling lives.”
Mrs Calis joined MASP in 2022 as the organisation’s Director of Corporate Services following an extensive career in Local Government and said it was an ‘honour’ to be appointed MASP’s fourth ever CEO after acting in the role for the past 12 months
“Over the last 12 months, I’ve gained a much greater understanding of the important role MASP plays in our community and the incredible work our staff does every day,” she said.
“I’m very excited to be able to contribute to that work and support MASP as we continue to progress into the future.”
Mrs Calis paid tribute to former CEO Vince Wilson, who resigned in October 2024 for health reasons.
“Vince had a major impact on MASP during his time by setting a clear direction which has paved the way for MASP to remain a key service provider in the Mallee and Far West NSW communities,” she said.
“The organisation will remain forever indebted to his leadership and I am committed to carrying on his legacy while also taking MASP forward.”
