North American Advisory Board In 2019, the Board established a North American Advisory Board (Advisory Board), which operates in an advisory capacity to the Board. The purpose of the Advisory Board is to capture the wisdom of individuals with deep experience and relationships in the North American region in order to contribute to Transurban’s strategic thinking and the development of executive leadership. The Advisory Board members’ knowledge and experience complements that of North American senior management, providing Transurban with a broad perspective and awareness of the local markets in which it operates and the clients, customers and communities it serves. During FY22 the Board and Senior Executives engaged with the Advisory Board on specific matters related to the North American region. The Advisory Board has been particularly valuable whilst COVID-19-related government restrictions have limited travel to and from North America. In FY22 the Advisory Board met with the Transurban Board both in person in Washington DC and remotely via video conference and provided useful insights on: Transurban’s assets and projects; potential development opportunities in North America; the local market conditions and changes in the political landscape; as well as macroeconomic and geopolitical matters relevant to Transurban’s business operations. In FY22, the Board approved the appointment of a new member to the Advisory Board. The current members of the North American Advisory Board are Françoise Bertrand, Laurie Mahon and Matt Rose, and details of their skills and experience are available at transurban.com/board
