Road Safety Trust Chair Appointed
Transport Minister Mark Gosche today announced he had appointed Suzanne Sinclair as Chairperson of the Road Safety
Trust.
The Road Safety Trust funds community safety initiatives, training, education and other activities that benefit road
safety. It is funded from a share of the sale of personalised number plates.
Suzanne Sinclair has a wide experience with community groups. She has served on the Auckland Housing Allocations
Committee of the Housing Corporation, the Auckland Institute of Technology Council and the Auckland War Memorial Museum
Council. She is a Justice of the Peace and holds the New Zealand Commemoration Medal and the Women’s Suffrage Centennial
Medal.
“I am pleased that a person with such an impressive background of service in the community has agreed to make her
experience available in the public sector,” Mr Gosche said.
“And I want to acknowledge the contribution of the retiring Chairperson, Margot Mains, for the considerable knowledge
she brought to the Road Safety Trust”.
