Community Recognition Notice - Congratulations Michelle Davis OAM

22 June 2022

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland)—Michelle Davis OAM epitomises resilience, selflessness and extraordinary dedication to community and I congratulate her as one of Maitland's newest recipients of a Queen's Birthday Honour. Michelle's commitment and dedication in establishing the ROADWHYZ – 'Choice and Consequence' program and HOPE Support Group (Helping Other Parents Exist after the loss of a child) after the tragic accident which took her two sons Brandon and Matthew demonstrated incredible stoicism during a time of intense personal grief. As a friend, client and local Member of Parliament, I have always been inspired by Michelle's strength and boundless generosity. Despite her own periods of loss, pain, and illness, Michelle has always put others first. Michelle's ability to bring others together for hope and change, is a mark of her extradentary leadership. To find that inspiration in a time of grief and loss is testament to Michelle's courage and strength of character. It is an honour to know Michelle and I am so pleased that her efforts have been recognised with this award. Congratulations Michelle on your outstanding commitment to service and change.
