The Australian Radio Communications Industry Association (ARCIA) committee recently made the decision that, in order to grow and meet the needs of the industry, it was time to appoint a full-time CEO. After a successful recruitment process, we are pleased to announce that Paul Davis will take up the role from Monday, September 12, 2022.

Having worked closely with all sectors of the industry over many years via Critical Comms and Comms Connect, Paul will bring his knowledge and experience to assist ARCIA on its continued journey as the voice of the wireless communications industry.

With the annual ARCIA Committee planning days taking place in Sydney on September 13-14, Paul will help to develop plans for the Association for the year ahead and beyond. As we come out of the pandemic and the restrictions of the past two years, this will be a valuable time to evaluate our progress to date and to look at how we can continue to strive to provide for our members, partners and the broader industry via training, networking and business development opportunities.

With Paul’s longstanding involvement and steadfast commitment to the critical communications industry in Australia, he will bring with him valuable knowledge and skills that will strengthen the Association’s position well into the future. This is incredibly important as our industry grows and changes in step with rapidly developing technologies and as we continue to deliver communications infrastructure—just as we’ve always done for almost 70 years.
