Director nomination and retirement
Miriam Dean nominated as a Chorus Director
Chorus has announced that its Board unanimously supports the nomination of Miriam
Dean to stand for election as an independent non-executive director at its 2021 annual
shareholders’ meeting on 27 October.
Patrick Strange , Chorus’ chair, said the Board supported Miriam’s appointment following
an extensive search.
“As a Queen’s Counsel and independent director, Miriam has spent decades in
commercial dispute resolution and governance roles, working for high-profile companies
in a range of sectors and governmental advisory boards and committees.
“Her speciality in competition, consumer and regulatory law will complement and
strengthen the Board’s existing skillset,” he said.
“Miriam has significant experience in the infrastructure and regulatory sectors, most
notably as a current director of Ōtākaro Limited (the Crown-owned company responsible
for the central cit y anchor projects following the Canterbury earthquakes); as a former
director of Crown Infrastructure Partners (the Government organisation managing the
rollout of New Zealand’s ultrafast broadband); as a former deputy chair of Auckland
Council Investments; and as a former deputy chair of the Commerce Commission.”
Miriam says, “I am pleased to have been nominated and thank the director s of the
Chorus Board for their support. If elected by shareholders, I look forward to contributing
my diverse skills and experience to help Chorus provide better outcomes for New
Zealanders. Chorus has an essential role to play in Aotearoa New Zealand’s future, as
better broadband underpins so much of what the country wants to achieve.”
Prue Flacks to retire as Chorus Director
Chorus has announced that Prue Flacks will step down from the Board at Chorus’ 2021
annual shareholders’ meeting.
Prue is a founding director and has been on the Board since Chorus’ establishment in
2011.
“It has been a privilege contributing to the success of Chorus, a company critical to New
Zealand’s future in an increasingly digital world,” she said.
“I believe I am standing down with the company in good shape, with the performance of
the network and rollout of fibre vastly exceeding original expectations. I want to thank
my fellow Board members and management for their efforts and contributions in helping

Chorus to position itself for a bright future,” she said.

Chorus chair Patrick Strange thanked Prue for her major contribution to Chorus.

“Prue steps down with the best wishes of the rest of the Board and our thanks for her
hard work, insights and valuable contribution to Chorus.”
