The Wagyl Kaip Southern Noongar Aboriginal Corporation has announced a change of leadership, following a meeting of the full board this week.

New chairperson Laurence Riley advised in a statement that Craig McVee had tendered his resignation as chairperson, opting to stay on as a member director of the board.

Mr Riley was then elected unanimously by the board to represent the strategic arm of the corporation until the 2027 Annual General Meeting.

In his statement after the meeting, Mr Riley noted that the WKSNAC board had also received notice of resignation from the corporation's chief executive, Ms Noelene McCormick.

"The CEO will continue to function in her capacity until early April with business-as-usual post cessation. The Board has begun considering recruitment and succession planning options to ensure a smooth transition of all leadership roles in the coming weeks," he said.

"WKSNAC is grateful and appreciative for the contribution of both Craig and Noelene for their stewardship and wish them the very best with their forward journeys into the future."

Mr Riley said that during the change management period, the organisation encourages all stakeholders continue to be "respectful and supportive of the corporation to ensure stability and growth through this exciting chapter of maturity and in delivering all priorities and outcomes for the agreement group and wider community".

"The Board will provide relevant updates in the coming weeks as required and appropriate," he said.
