Welcome New CEO, George Brenan
NEW HUME CONSERVATORIUM CEO ANNOUNCED
The Hume Conservatorium Board of Directors is delighted to announce the appointment of the new CEO George Brenan.
George initially joined the board of Hume Conservatorium at the AGM in March of this year, and subsequently became available for the CEO role. He has since resigned from the board and his other work commitments to take up the CEO position beginning on Wednesday 7 September 2022.
George moved to Goulburn permanently in 2021 and is about to build a new home here. He has been a musician since the age of 7 with diverse interests over the years including voice, keyboard, sax, viol da gamba, and renaissance winds/capped reeds.
“The musical development that the Hume Conservatorium offers can transform the lives of young people – and not only musically. It’s a thrill to help the Con build up what it can offer communities across our region.” George said, “Cultural institutions thrive together, and the Hume Con will always aim to be in the midst of life across the Goulburn Mulwaree region, bringing our contribution to the cultural richness around us.”
George is passionate about the future of Hume Conservatorium and the life-changing benefits of musical education for young people. “The opportunity to take on this role was unexpected, but it was impossible to refuse. I look forward to getting to know our school and student communities and build on the 37-year legacy of Hume Con.” George added.
In this role, he complements his passion for music with leadership experience from senior executive roles in the public service and with the ANU National Security College. More recently he has run a small consultancy providing strategic and change management advice.
He has served on the boards of other not-for-profit organisations for around 15 years and is a member of the board of Volunteering ACT Ltd. Previously, he served on the boards of Meridian ACT Inc, Karralika Programs Inc, and the SpringOut Association Inc.
Ed Suttle commented “As Chair, I am thrilled George has accepted the role of CEO. He came through a highly competitive recruitment campaign, he is very familiar with Hume Con and its activities and priorities, he is a proven administrator, he is a very keen musician, and he is passionate about the benefits of music education”.
Hume Conservatorium is excited to welcome George to the position and look forward to his expert input into the future of the Conservatorium and music opportunities in the region.
