Asthma New Zealand General Committee

Robert Muir

President 

Having several friends suffer chronic asthma inspired Robert to become involved in the organisation, an association that spans more than a decade. He first joined Asthma Auckland in 2004 and became a committee member in the same year. Robert is now into his fourth term as president and is also on the Board of the Auckland Asthma Charitable Trust. As a company director with an import and distribution business, Robert brings strong management and business skills to his Asthma Auckland, Asthma NZ and AECT roles.
