Having completed the acquisition of ME Bank on 1 July 2021, the Board of Bank of Queensland Group announced that former ME Bank Director Deborah Kiers will join BOQ's Board of Directors. Ms Kiers' appointment provides further strategic capability to the BOQ Board and she will bring continuity of the ME brand, cultural values and corporate heritage. Ms Kiers joins as an Independent Non-Executive Director and her appointment will support the integration program of ME Bank. The acquisition of ME Bank has led to a rotation of Directors for BOQ Group. The Board wishes to recognise the important contribution of Kathleen Bailey-Lord who will be retiring as a Non- Executive Director. These Board changes will take effect from 5 August 2021, enabling the total number of Non- Executive Directors to remain at seven.
