‘I am a sucker for getting people out into nature’

Sally’s career has centred on managed public places for public value: from national parks in NSW, Northern Territory and Jervis Bay, to the Australian National Botanic Gardens and now as Chief Executive of the National Capital Authority.  Sally leaves her current role at the end of February 2024, so this talk will provide a nice space (with friends) to reflect on her passion.
