The resignation of trustee Vaughan Lock from the New Zealand AIDS Foundation's Board has been accepted with regret, says acting chair Simon Robb. Lock was a member of the NZAF board for nearly three years, from May 2002. He came to the Foundation as a practising lawyer an emphasis on Privacy and Health concerns who had moved on to study medicine. "Vaughan provided a tremendous range of skills to the board," Simon Robb said. "With his legal background, Vaughan understood the role of trustee and the importance of good governance. His medical background meant that he could grasp the clinical issues people living with HIV/AIDS face." Robb says Lock's resignation was accepted with regret.
