ABC Managing Director David Anderson Resigns

David Anderson, the managing director of the ABC, has announced his resignation, effective early next year, after nearly six years in the role. His departure follows a challenging period for the organization, including a recent vote of no confidence from staff and the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance. Anderson expressed gratitude for his time at the ABC, stating it was a privilege to lead such a respected institution and emphasizing the need for leadership renewal. He will remain on until a successor is appointed, a decision welcomed by ABC chair Kim Williams, who praised Anderson's dedication and contributions. Anderson's tenure began in 2019 after serving as acting managing director since 2018, and he has been with the ABC for 35 years. His resignation comes shortly after Williams took over as chair and began a series of critical evaluations of the organization.
