Narellan chamber says its meeting on April 8 will be an inspirational one, when seven times world title champion Layne Beachley discusses her exploits, unwavering attitude and inspirational achievements.
Layne Beachley is widely regarded as the most successful female surfer in history.
She is the only surfer, male or female, to claim six consecutive world titles (1998 to 2003).
Layne went on to win a seventh in 2006 before retiring from the ASP World Tour two years later.
Having spent two decades breaking down the barriers in her chosen profession, Layne has committed herself to making it easier for young women to achieve their goals by establishing the Layne Beachley Aim For The Stars Foundation.
Celebrating achievement and supporting the journey of Australia’s young women, the foundation provides financial and moral support to encourage them to dare to dream, pursue their passion and aspire to achieve in all endeavours including academia, business, arts and sport.
Layne is the 2004 Laureus Alternative Sports Person of the Year, 2006 Surfing Hall of Fame inductee, 2011 Sport Australia Hall of Fame inductee, ISA World Masters Champion and 2012 Olympic Games athlete liaison officer.
In 2013 Layne was recognised as one of the top 10 most influential surfers in Australia (the only woman to grace the top 10) and named the third greatest Australian female athlete of all time, behind Dawn Fraser and Betty Cuthbert.
