Russell Stokes 2026 Nomination

Why are you seeking a position on the WA Mining Club Committee?

I am seeking a position on the WA Mining Club Committee to contribute in a practical and meaningful way to an organisation that plays a key role in connecting the mining industry in Western Australia.

Through my involvement with the Club and broader industry, I have seen firsthand the value that strong networks, trusted relationships, and industry forums create. These connections are critical to solving operational and commercial challenges, and the WA Mining Club provides a platform that delivers real outcomes for its members.

I am motivated to contribute to that continued success. In particular, I am interested in supporting the Membership portfolio, with a focus on growing and engaging a diverse member base, strengthening participation, and ensuring the Club remains relevant to both emerging and established professionals.

I bring a proactive, commercially focused approach and see this as an opportunity to contribute energy, industry connectivity, and practical insight to support the Club’s ongoing growth and impact.

 

Please outline the skills, experience, and perspectives you would bring to the Committee:

I bring a commercially driven and relationship-focused perspective, developed through working closely with mining companies across Western Australia. In my role at CASAIR Group, I manage complex logistics, negotiate commercial outcomes, and build long-term partnerships, giving me a practical understanding of the operational and commercial pressures facing remote projects.

My experience spans multiple operators and projects, providing a broad industry view and the ability to connect people, opportunities, and solutions across the sector.

I also bring proven experience in membership growth and engagement through Karrinyup Rotary and Rotary Means Business WA, along with committee experience including the Karrinyup Shopping Centre Marketing Committee. This has strengthened my ability to build active communities, increase participation, and deliver ongoing value to members.

My approach is proactive and outcomes-focused, with a strong emphasis on connection and engagement. I bring confident communication and presentation skills, supported by experience as a professional musician and performer, enabling me to engage diverse audiences and contribute to the energy and success of Club events.
