Motorcycling Australia Board announces new appointments

Motorcycling Australia has announced three new appointments to the organisation’s Board of Directors, as well as the elevation of Roy Chamberlain to President.

The new directors, Lisa Potter, Gavin Quinney and Anthony Reed, all bring wide-ranging executive, senior leadership and consultancy experience onto the Board, with a focus on skills such as business strategy, financial management, policy, risk management, sponsorship procurement, board governance and government liaison.

The trio joins Roy Chamberlain, Brett Redman, Alana Baratto and Sarah Jane-Dunford on the seven-member Motorcycling Australia Board, with Chamberlain elected as the new President to replace Peter Goddard who has stepped aside after a 10-year Board tenure – which included the Presidency from 2017 until 2024.

Motorcycling Australia thanked Goddard as well as the other outgoing Board members – Simon Bailey and Ross Allen – for their invaluable service to the organisation.

ROY CHAMBERLAIN (PRESIDENT)

Quinney and his family are mad about anything with two or four wheels, and he continues to try and master the art of anything with two wheels after completing a successful sporting life at a representative level in New Zealand.
