Zoos SA CEO Resigns
The Royal Zoological Society of South Australia (RZSSA) has today announced the resignation of CEO Chris West following his acceptance of the role as Chief Executive Officer of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland.
RZSSA President Kevin McGuinness said Dr West has led the organisation through a challenging chapter in its history following a period of significant growth and redevelopment.
“Zoos SA is today a more contemporary organisation and has seen a more than doubling of membership numbers and business revenue under Chris’s leadership,” Mr McGuinness said.
“Following the restructure of our funding arrangements announced late last year we are in a sound position and well placed for the future.
“On behalf of the Board I extend my congratulations to Chris and his family on his appointment and wish them all the best as they start to plan the next stage of their lives abroad.”
Dr West has held the Zoos SA Chief Executive position for the last six years, having previously been the Zoological Director at the Zoological Society of London.
“Chris has overseen the transformation of Adelaide and Monarto Zoos and has strengthened the reputation of Zoos SA as an integrated conservation organisation on a national and international level,” Mr McGuinness said.
Dr West will remain as CEO until June and an international search for his replacement is now underway.
