My experience and formal qualifications in both corporate and clinical governance align with the responsibilities of the RACMA Board, namely the strategy, planning, finances and compliance of College; overseeing and advising the Executive; enhancing College’s reputation; and maintaining timely and comprehensive reporting to members and stakeholders. I bring the perspective of an AFRACMA with self-driven passion, rather than a purely vocational responsibility, in medical leadership. This has led to my involvement with the NSW Jurisdictional Committee and our Clinical Governance Advisory Group; as well as the Advancing Women in Healthcare Leadership (AWHL) Community of Practice. My other medical leadership roles span a diverse scope including medicines regulation, research publication and clinical teaching. In recent times my lived experience, and dedication to diversity and inclusion have been increasingly important in my governance roles. I am honoured to receive the support of my AFRACMA colleagues for this nomination and hope to receive your vote.
