Crossan reappointed

Originally appointed to the role in 2003, Social Development and Employment Minister Paula Bennett says Crossan has developed valuable networks since that time, across both the state and private sectors, as well as within international financial literacy circles.

"Ms Crossan's reappointment means she'll be able to carry on implementing the national strategy to lift New Zealanders' financial literacy and continue the valuable work she is leading within the OECD to find the best ways of measuring the effectiveness of financial education," Bennett says.

Crossan will deliver her second three-yearly review of New Zealand's retirement income policy at the end of 2010. More than a third of New Zealanders have made use of the Retirement Commission's Sorted booklets and website to date.
