“Over the past year, Alexandra has distinguished herself through her fearless engagement on complex issues, her evidence-based approach, and her exceptional communication skills,” says APHANZ chief executive Liz Shackleton.

“She has played a key role in membership feedback to inform APHANZ’s advocacy efforts, contributing to strategic leadership, ministerial engagement, and policy discussions on gene technology and regulatory reform.

Balancing her contributions to APHANZ with a demanding role at Bayer, Bunton exemplifies the spirit of service and leadership, Shackleton says.
