Amy has shared her expertise on multiple boards, including on the Australian Beef Sustainability Framework steering group committee, looking at sustainability within the industry. She has been involved with Meat Business Women since its inception, a global group that connects women from across the meat processing supply chain, and has recently completed a four-year term with the Woorabinda Pastoral Company, an agricultural enterprise based in central Queensland. She has been a member of Telstra's Queensland
