SBS Chairman welcomes Board appointment


Carla Zampatti AC, long-serving Chairman of SBS, today welcomed the appointment of Joseph Skrzynski AO to take over her role in December.

“I have been both privileged and proud to serve my two terms as the Chairman of SBS,” Ms Zampatti said.

“For the past 10 wonderful years I have worked closely with SBS staff, management and many talented Board colleagues to steer SBS through a period of significant growth and technological change.

“It has been an exciting time to be at the helm of a media organisation with such a unique purpose. Over the years SBS has entrenched itself as a vital service for Australia’s multicultural communities and has expanded its television, radio and online services to meet the growing needs of its audience.

“I am confident the important work of SBS will continue under the tutelage of Joe Skrzynski and I wish him well.

“I would like to thank my colleagues on the SBS Board, both past and present, for their dedication and support over the years. I would also like to thank the talented staff at SBS who are dedicated to delivering the very best services to the Australian community.

“I feel strongly about the importance of an independent and well resourced SBS to the Australian community and will continue to watch SBS’s progress with much affection.”

“SBS is the most interesting broadcaster in Australia and unrivalled globally in its diversity,” Mr Skrzynski said.

“I look forward to taking up the position in December, to build on this heritage and help it develop further."
