The Waste Management and Resource Recovery Association of Australia (WMRR) is delighted to announce its Board of Directors for 2026-28 inclusive of a new National Vice President.
Following a call for nominations in March 2026, Mr Jason Pugh, Managing Director & Country President for Kanadevia Inova and WMRR’s current WA Branch President, will be joining the WMRR Board as National Vice President, whilst Ms Michelle Mandl and Ms Katherine Dodd will each serve their second consecutive term with the WMRR Board as Nominated Director and Elected Director respectively.
WMRR CEO, Ms Gayle Sloan, noted that Mr Pugh has been a strong and informed WA representative who has led the WA Branch brilliantly to address policy, infrastructure and levy changes in WA, whilst also being instrumental in the development of some of Australia’s first Energy-from-Waste facilities.
“Jason brings deep expertise in the Energy-from-Waste sector, together with strong governance and commercial leadership experience, to the WMRR Board. His financial acumen will be a significant asset in his role as incoming Chair of WMRR’s Audit and Risk Committee,” she said.
Ms Sloan also noted the valuable and longstanding contribution made to WMRR by the outgoing Vice President, Ms Isabel Axiö, who until recently, was based in Tasmania as a Senior Consultant with RMCG.
The 2026-2028 Board of Directors will commence their terms at the forthcoming WMRR Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Monday 22 June 2026, hosted ahead of the ENVIRO Conference at the Adelaide Convention Centre.
