Roads Australia (RA) President Michael Bushby has advised the board that he will not seek a further term in his role, ending his three year long tenure.
Bushby took on the role in late 2019, overseeing the organisations adaption throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bushby said RA’s adaptability to change its event delivery model during the pandemic “cannot be overstated”.
“I am incredibly proud to have worked with the RA Board and our team throughout that period to pivot and evolve the organisation to include online industry events and policy webinars as well as online events for RA Fellowship and Emerging Leaders program participants. These events allowed our members to remain connected to colleagues and engaged with the pressing issues facing our industry over what was a very turbulent time,” he said.
During his tenure Bushby also contributed to the growth of RA’s Fellowship and Emerging Leaders programs, an evolution of RA’s policy engagement, elevating RA’s profile through key publications and activities and a greater focus on delivering events programs.
Bushby said RA is now well-placed to lead the industry as it continues to evolve.
“Although it will be in a different capacity moving forward, I nonetheless look forward to remaining actively engaged in RA’s journey and connected with our members, who are ultimately our greatest strength and will undoubtedly drive the organisation on to even greater achievements in the years ahead,” Bushby said.
Bushby added that further reflections will be made at RA’s upcoming annual general meeting on 25 November, as well the upcoming 2022 RA Annual Report.
