In addition to Michael Johnson joining the Volleyball Australia Board and Craig Carracher’s reelection as President at the 2024 Annual General Meeting in Hobart over the weekend, two directors were also reelected – Anita Palm and Carolyn Campbell.
Anita’s reelection comes more than a decade after first joining the VA Board and she continues to bring valued experience from a career built on delivering major sporting events.
She represented Australia 28 times in indoor volleyball before successfully transitioning to the sand, becoming one of Australia’s first-ever beach volleyball Olympians at Atlanta 1996 where she and Liane Fenwick finished seventh.
A six-time national champion, Anita was inducted into the Volleyball Australia Hall of Fame in 2013.
Following her retirement, Anita worked as a manager of Sports Services at the Sydney and Athens Olympic Games before joining the International Olympic Committee as a consultant. After serving as President and CEO of Womensport Queensland, she went on to become Head of Sport for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.
Anita continues to work with sports, cities and events specialising in sustainability, sport development and high performance, contributing to the legacy of major events including the ICC Cricket World Cup, 2022 World Swimming Championships and 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Carolyn’s re-election comes after first joining the Board in November 2021.
With over 30 years experience in the sports sector as an executive and non-executive director, Carolyn is a former Chair of Sport NSW, the peak industry body for sport in the state, of which she was awarded Life Membership in 2022.
A former CEO of Netball NSW, Carolyn is also a director of the NSW Rugby League and Chair and director of Hockey One Pty Ltd.
