‘‘As some of you may know, John has been struggling with his depression on and off over the past few months. He is in hospital at the moment. The good news is he is on the mend and we expect to see him out and about soon. His recovery is something I am watching with admiration and love’’, Lucy said. She also indicated that indicated that Mr Brogden will continue in his role as Lifeline’s Chairman.

Mr Brogden said: “AICD plays a vital role in the development of corporate governance policy, company director knowledge and talent. I am pleased to have made a contribution to the organisation over the last two years.

AICD Chairman, Elizabeth Proust, said “As CEO, John has driven the creation and initiation of a number of important policy and member service developments… In particular John has been effective in increasing membership and raising AICD's advocacy profile.”
