"I understand how important it is for people to see themselves and their communities represented at senior levels of an organisation. Since coming onto the board, I have been able to advise Greater Sport on what they can do to be more inclusive, and act as a spokesperson to previously excluded communities to ensure that Greater Sport is as accessible to all."

"My advice to other leaders in the private sector would absolutely be to volunteer and put themselves forward for these opportunities in sport."

"The role with Greater Sport particularly appealed as it operated within my local community and I felt I could really help the organisation reach some of the communities in the area that had traditionally been harder to reach. The opportunity to drive this change in my local area was one I jumped at."
