Dennis Mutton
Dennis Mutton was one of the founding fathers of the Governor's Leadership Foundation Program and the inaugural Treasurer of the Leaders Institute of SA; a position he held for 5 years until his retirement from the board. Dennis had a long and distinguished career in the South Australian public sector and industry. He was a former chief executive in several government departments, and also held positions as Deputy President and Commissioner of the Murray Darling Basin Commission.
In later life, Dennis remains an active contributor to the South Australian community as an independent consultant in natural resource management, industry development, primary industries and mineral resources, regional growth initiatives, business-government relations, leadership and human resource development.
The Dennis Mutton Award was instigated by the Leadership Institute of SA to recognise GLF Alumni who have demonstrated outstanding contributions to the community through leadership beyond self.
