COMMISSIONER Alan Brown has announced that Judy Lind has resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Greyhound Welfare & Integrity Commission.

JUDY Lind has resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Greyhound Welfare & Integrity (GWIC) Commission.

Chief Commissioner Alan Brown AM announced on Friday that Lind, the commission's inaugural CEO, will vacate her role effective from October 20, 2020.

“Ms Lind, who joined the Commission as its inaugural CEO in February 2018, has been instrumental in establishing the Commission as a trusted, fair, firm and impartial regulator,” Brown stated.

"Ms Lind assembled and led a team which in less than three years delivered the industry reforms set out by the Government following the release of the Greyhound Industry Reform Panel report in 2017, together with other significant initiatives.

“Some of those achievements include implementing transparent reporting, via the production of public-facing reports on a regular basis, on key elements of greyhound racing industry performance.

“She also implemented proactive and ongoing industry engagement processes, including the Greyhound Knowledge Industry Network, regular dialogue with GBOTA and an inaugural Breeders Forum to discuss breeding trends in the industry.

“Ms Lind has also delivered the best customer service environment that NSW greyhound industry participants have experienced and championed the vital role that private rehoming organisations play in the rehoming of greyhounds exiting the industry.”

Lind will leave her position at the Commission's head office in Bathurst and return to her home in Canberra.

"I wish to acknowledge my team at the Commission, especially those involved in the formative stages of the Commission who have been such an integral part of my team for the duration of the journey", Ms Lind said.

"I would also like to acknowledge those within the industry who have supported my work at the Commission, including those who have reached out to offer their encouragement, knowledge, expertise and guidance."

Steve Griffin will act as interim Chief Executive Officer until recruitment to find a replacement for Lind is carried out.
