ARM announces that Nova Peris, well known athlete, former Senator for the NT and Indigenous campaigner has been chosen as its first female co-chair, a new position created last week when ARM’s constitution was changed. Two of the three top office holders at ARM are now women. The new Deputy Chair is Meredith Doig who is in her second term on ARM’s National Council until late 2024. This is long overdue change initiated by recently elected ARM chair, Craig Foster (who is now also a co-chair) with the vast majority of the 200 members voting in favour and will materially assist ARM to get its message through to women voters.
