gazetted today.

Government will continue trying to make the boards "more representative,'' through inclusion of more women and blacks, Mr. Dill said.

Although it will be the first announcement of Government boards under new Premier David Saul, "the attitude wasn't to go in there and shake things up for the sake of shaking them up,'' Mr. Dill told The Royal Gazette .

He noted that there had been major changes to the make-up of many Government boards, like the Board of Education, over the last couple of years. Government did want more "new blood'' on the boards, and had brought in "a significant number of new faces,'' Mr. Dill said.

But, "the idea isn't to go in there and discard people simply because it would be fashionable to do so.'' Last year, the 650 names gazetted as members of dozens of boards and commissions included 199 women, or nearly one-third of the total. That represented an increase of 29 women from a year earlier.

Among the appointments to be made today is a successor to Tourism Minister David Dodwell as chairman of the Tourism Board. Mr. Paul Leseur, who was deputy chairman, has been acting chairman since Mr. Dodwell stepped down to become Tourism Minister on September 1.
