How to read this

The update describes the change as a retirement on completion of term, not a resignation or removal. The Chairperson's role is non-executive, meaning it relates to board leadership and oversight rather than day-to-day management.

Because a successor was identified in advance and takes charge the very next day, there is continuity in board leadership with no gap.
