Submitted by Michael Timms, ACRS NSW Chapter Chair
The 2025 NSW Chapter Annual General Meeting was held on Tuesday 24 June 2025 with some new faces joining the chapter committee.
New committee members William Douglas, David Kennedy, Helen Nguyen and Brana Ravichelvan, will serve alongside returning members David Beck, John Crozier, Cassandra Gauld, Tasha Prabhakar (Deputy Chair), Mick Timms (Chair), and David Wakelin (Secretary).
“We welcome William, David, Helen and Brana to the committee,” NSW Chapter Chair, Mr Mick Timms
“It has been a difficult year for us with the untimely death of immediate past chapter chair and ACRS 2024 Young Leader Oration award winner Dr Prasannah Prabhakharan.
“Prasannah championed growing ACRS membership and developing road safety leaders – he would have been very pleased to see new faces joining the chapter committee, and David Wakelin stepping up to the role of Secretary.
Mick gave thanks to Ralston Fernandes, David McTiernan, and Josh Devitt, long serving committee members who have stepped down.
“Those three members are not lost to road safety and will continue to contribute to ACRS,” Mick said.
“For example, David McTiernan was recently elected to a role on the ACRS Council.”
