A new leadership of the Council of Trade Unions, including the first woman CTU President, will be formally elected for a four year term at the organisation's biennial conference in October, CTU President Ross Wilson announced today.

Nominations closed this afternoon for the four CTU officer positions. Helen Kelly was nominated as President, incumbents Carol Beaumont and Sharon Clair re-nominated in their roles of Secretary and Vice President Maori respectively, and PSA National Secretary Richard Wagstaff as Vice President. All were unopposed.

"I am delighted that the union movement will have such a strong leadership team to carry our important work into the future on behalf of working New Zealanders," Ross Wilson said.

"I am particularly proud of the emergence of three exceptional women in these key national leadership roles," he said.
