Co-opted Councillor
Dr Julie-Anne Tooth is currently the Chief People Officer at the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) where she supports a statewide workforce of 5000 people, 75% who proudly live and work in regional NSW.
Julie-Anne has over 30 years of experience in human resources, combined with some diverse (and frequently unexpected) career moves including into regional public transport operations and customer service, professional executive coaching, transformation consultancy, research and academia.
Raised in rural NSW but needing to move to the city to gain employment, she is passionate about creating opportunities for the next generation of regional kids - enabling them to live, work and play (and stay) in regional NSW.
As a Councillor of IPAA NSW, she is delighted to be a sponsor and advocate for the Regional Events Strategy that brings events like Gov Gathers to life.
