Annie Ford
Annie Ford is a marine scientist, explorer, world record holder, cold water sailor, mountain biker, CEO, and environmental activist. Annie combines adventure and activism, using her bike to tell stories, fundraise, and raise awareness of community and environmental issues. Annie believes in the power of community, the importance of intergenerational thinking, and activation of individuals to become custodians of land and sea. Her most recent 3000km bike ride shed light on the world's largest offshore seismic survey for oil and gas, which has since been cancelled due to community pressure.
Annie is also a Rotary Alumnae having participated in the former Rotary District 9810 Rotary Youth Leadership Award program and Rotary District 9830's (Tasmania) Rotary Professional Development Exchange (formerly Group Study Exchange) to Queenstown NZ which focused on agriculture and tourism.
