Managing Director, Cameron’s Nursery, Arcadia, New South Wales
Sonja’s desire to serve on the GIA board stems from a profound wish to give back to the industry. Her business, Cameron’s Nursery, leads by example with a strong commitment to industry best practices, holding all three levels of the Australian Plant Production Standard (APPS) programs: Nursery Industry Accreditation Scheme, Australia (NIASA), EcoHort and Biosecure HACCP. Her comprehensive understanding of the nursery levy has been acquired through active participation in the Strategic Investment Advisory Committee for Hort Innovation Australia since 2016. Ultimately, becoming a GIA Director represents a unique chance to amalgamate her expertise, passion and steadfast commitment to horticulture and sustainability, while making a meaningful and lasting impact on the industry and the broader community.
