State Chairs

The ASA operates nationally with active committees in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the ACT. Each state is overseen by a state chair with a state committee. The state committee is responsible for the coordination and activities of the state and serves as the conduit between the office and the local volunteers and members.

Alison Harrington, Queensland State Chair

Alison is passionate about two things. Managing our biochemistry to maintain optimal health and educating investors to be able to manage their investments for financial security. Taking personal control through education, and finding the right sources of help, means we can all be in control of our quality of life and that of our family. Bio Balance Health Ltd, and Australian Shareholders Association provide both education and sources of help.
