Chair of TWAL - Pam McMillan
Pam, together with her husband Doug, runs a small fleet of trucks out of Albury-Wodonga and has a real empathy with and understanding of the issues faced by industry, particularly small operators.
Pam was invited to join the board of Transport Women Australia Ltd in 2000, soon after incorporation and this is her second stint at being the Chair, the previous term being for four years from 2004 to 2008. She has been involved in transport for most of her life.
Pam won the National Road Transport Woman of the Year award in 1999, was inducted into the Road Transport Hall of Fame in 2005 and wrote a monthly column in Owner Driver newspaper for ten years.
She has been involved with different groups and committees over the years, and has been administrator of the Australian Truck Drivers Memorial at Tarcutta since 2005.
TWAL Director - Rebecca Delahaye
As a Transport Women Board Member, I strongly believe that women play a key role within the transport industry and have a keen interest in raising the profile of women within the sector, as well as supporting female role models and mentors in the industry. I’m the mother of a nine year old daughter and I believe that it is vitally important that we send a message to all women and girls about their ability to break through traditional gender roles, and that this is best achieved through the continued support and encouragement of women in this traditionally male dominated industry.
In my current role as National Relationship Manager for rt health fund (the oldest restricted membership not-for-profit health fund in Australia), I work across all areas of the transport industry – including rail, road, aviation and maritime – providing service and advice intended to improve the health of transport workers and their families. This is a role that I am exceedingly passionate about, and believe that it provides me with the perfect opportunity to raise awareness regarding Transport Women Australia throughout the industry. Although based in Brisbane, my job takes me across Australia, and I spend an enormous amount of time liaising with transport representatives and employees in their workplaces, giving me access to the women who are in the “front line” of the industry on a daily basis.
