Ms Walker said she was excited to join the NRMA Board to represent a region she had lived in for 23 years.
“I’m proud to be joining one of Australia’s most trusted organisations. As a local Northern Beaches resident and NRMA Member, I’m committed to advocating on behalf of all of our Members who live in the Harbour Region,” Ms Walker said.
“Cost of living pressures like fuel prices continue to impact families across Sydney and I’m proud to be joining an organisation that works solely of the benefit of its Members.
“It’s an honour to be replacing Tim Trumper as the NRMA Director for this region who served our members so well for the 11 years he was on the Board.
“I look forward to building on that service and look forward to applying my experience in business, governance and advocacy to the Board of this iconic brand.
“I have lived in the Harbour region for over 23 years and I understand the transport and cost of living pressures our members face across Sydney every day. I am committed to working with my fellow directors to fight for meaningful policy outcomes that will benefit all NRMA members.”
Ms Walker’s Board position commences today.
