NRMA Board Election Result

Author: NRMA MediaDate: 11 November 2008

Members of NRMA Motoring & Services have voted again in record numbers in this year's Board election, NRMA Group General Counsel and Group Company Secretary, Helen Burgess said today.

Announcing the election result for the nine-member Board, Ms Burgess said a record 399,700 formal votes had been cast in the company's full Board election - the highest number since demutualisation in 2000.

The NRMA Board elections were conducted on a region-based voting system. Each of the nine regions returned one Director.

Ms Burgess said the record vote was important for NRMA Members.

"Voting in the NRMA Board election is voluntary, but many Members take their responsibilities seriously," Ms Burgess said.

"In recent years we have developed some participation incentives as a way of thanking our Members who traditionally take an interest in the governance of the NRMA and to encourage other Members to get involved."

Ms Burgess declared the following candidates have been elected by Members in the respective regions:

Coghlan:  Wendy Machin  
Cox: David Bentham
Hoddle: Michael Tynan
Howe: Coral Taylor
Keele: Kyle Loades
Mann: Alan Evans
Perry: Geoff Toovey
Simms: Dawn Fraser
Townsend: Graham Blight

"While appointed by a region, each Board Director will work for the benefit of the NRMA as a whole," Ms Burgess said.

Under NRMA's Constitution, the newly-elected Directors have all been elected to three-year terms and they will take office on Saturday, 6 December 2008. Full voting details will be posted at 2008 elections.
