Peak body for building industry appoints new CEO

The Australian Institute of Building (AIB) has appointed a new CEO, Robert Hunt.
Hunt joins the AIB after several years in senior managemnet positions with organisations such as the Australian Medical Association and Medicines Australia.
AIB national president, Patrick Toomey, said Hunt's appointment is a significant step forward for the Institute.
"The AIB's Board has set an ambitious business plan for the Institute over the next three years and Hunt's appointment is crucial for the successful implementation of this plan," Toomey said.
Speaking at the Institute's recent Council meeting, Hunt said, "The AIB has an important role to play in the building and construction industry and I believe it crucial, at this time, that the Institute continues to provide strong support to its members and the industry."
Hunt replaces former CEO Troy Williams, who decided to step down from the role after four years to accept a senior appointment with a not-for-profit organisation in his home state of Queensland.
Hunt will be based in the Institute's national office in Canberra.
