Media Release
The National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA) is thrilled to announce that Shane Fitzsimmons, AO AFSM, will be headlining the 2024 NIBA Convention. In a special keynote address, the 2021 NSW Australian of the Year will share his experience of battling the deadly Black Summer bushfires and lessons in building resilience that he's acquired, having over three decades of emergency management experience.
NIBA CEO Richard Klipin welcomed Shane as a keynote speaker, adding: "Brokers play an important role in helping communities get back on their feet in the aftermath of natural disasters."
"Shane's insights will be invaluable in showcasing the importance of risk mitigation and building community resilience," noted Klipin.
Shane served as the inaugural NSW Commissioner of Resilience from May 2020 to December 2022, an organisation established as the lead agency for disaster recovery focusing on social, economic, infrastructure and environmental outcomes. This appointment followed a distinguished career with the NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) of over 35 years. The NSW RFS is widely acknowledged as the largest volunteer fire service in the world and is the lead agency for bushfires and bushfire management in NSW.
