Terry Powell was last elected at the 2008 Annual General Meeting. If re-elected, Terry will continue as a director and be subject to retirement by rotation under the company’s constitution.
Information regarding Terry’s qualifications, experience, and responsibilities is contained in the company’s 2010 annual report on pages 21 and 34, including Terry’s responsibility as chair of the audit committee.
Terry was one of the two founding directors of Powell Clark and Associates which was established in 1977 and became a leading IT software consultancy business specialising in developing and implementing software for small to medium sized organisations across a range of industries. In 1984 Powell Clark and Associates merged with another company and became one of Queensland’s first personal computer dealerships and a reseller of IBM multi-user computing systems. The expanded business was launched as Data[#] 3 in 1984 and commenced to develop strategic relationships with the IT industry’s key suppliers, and those relationships have continued to grow in strength and significance.
Over the past 33 years Terry has played a pivotal role in the development and evolution of Data[#] 3. His extensive knowledge and experience of the business and the IT industry are extremely valuable to Data[#] 3 and his strategic insights and input remain as important and relevant today as any other time in the company’s development.
The directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Terry Powell and the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.
