“Tracey champions best practice in governance standards amongst her extensive network of contacts and clients.

Overall, Tracey has an outstanding track record in promoting best practice in corporate governance, but more importantly, she uses her extensive network and client base to champion this and make a difference to many other organisations.”
“Brilliant! I love this industry and being nominated is such an honour. Modern governance is exactly what we need to recognise. We need to adapt to changing environments, supporting businesses as they strive to evolve. So 'modern' is the perfect description, thank you for understanding that.”

“Debra is a vital support for the board in its drive for world class corporate governance. She ensures that the board meetings are run smoothly and facilitates a seamless process for board members around board papers, meeting agendas, minutes and resolutions. In addition, she acts as a key adviser to the board on corporate governance issues that reflects best practices and promotes emerging governance issues.”
“I strongly believe that corporate governance is fundamental to our lives, including how we allocate resources to communities, climate change and human rights issues, including our response to the Black Lives Matter movement. I’m driven to make the Z Energy board the best corporate citizen it can be. I feel incredibly honoured to be nominated for this as it is so deeply aligned with my sense of purpose and personal values.”
