Resignation of NLC CEO

The NLC’s Chief Executive Officer Joe Morrison today announced his resignation to the Full Council of the NLC.

Mr Morrison has been CEO since February 2014 and said he resigned for personal reasons and that it was time to explore other opportunities. He has enjoyed his time at the NLC and says he has achieved many of the commitments he gave to the late Mr Wunungmurra who was Chairman when he was recruited.

The NLC is a fundamentally important institution for Aboriginal people of the Top End and he leaves the NLC in a better position to deal with the challenges faced by Traditional Owners than when he joined in 2014.

Mr Morrison will not be saying anything more at this time.
