RESIGNATION OF DIRECTOR
The Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited (BHP) said today Margaret
Jackson would resign from the Board effective 30 June 2000.
Ms Jackson, a BHP Director since 1994, has been nominated to become Chairman
of Qantas from July. She said her resignation from the BHP Board was
necessitated by a need to commit more time to Qantas in her new capacity with
that company.
BHP Chairman Don Argus said he was sorry to lose Ms Jackson from the BHP Board
although he understood the reason for her decision.
"Margaret has been a great contributor to our Board," he said. "We wish her
well in her new role as Chairman of Qantas."
