Acknowledging our contributors
We took a moment to recognise several key figures who have played a significant role in RACT’s journey:
Kathryn Westwood, a former Board Director, was honoured with a place on the Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals' honour roll. Kathryn has been a strong advocate for member-driven initiatives and governance excellence, playing a crucial role in shaping RACT’s strategic direction during her tenure.
Ralph Doedens, retiring Board Director, has been a cornerstone of RACT’s growth. Ralph joined RACT Insurance as CFO in 2000 and became CEO in 2006. He later returned as a Board Director, where his extensive industry knowledge and strategic insight were invaluable, especially during RACT’s acquisition of full ownership of RACT Insurance in 2021.
Jo Archer, awarded an Honorary Life Membership, served as a Board Director from 2006 to 2021. Jo is well-known for her passion for road safety and community advocacy, particularly in regional Tasmania. Her commitment to keeping the member voice at the forefront of Board discussions has left a lasting legacy.
