Anna McPhee has experience as a senior executive in both the public and private sectors. She has been an advocate on business issues across industry, and is best known for her advocacy on diversity and equal opportunity, including her role as the Director of the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency (EOWA) from 2004 to 2008.

Sam Mostyn is on the Board of Virgin Blue and is a Commissioner with the Australian Football League, the first woman to hold such a position.

“We are proud of what DCA has achieved after a period of restructuring and consolidation. We believe we have set the foundation for a thriving not-for-profit business and workplace diversity organisation in Australia for the years to come, in an environment where diversity is increasingly important from a governance and customer perspective.

“Anna and Sam will bring to the Board valuable business skills, extensive networks and sound knowledge of the large political parties and the machinery of government. Each is a respected and experienced director with a strong and highly credible record in diversity advocacy and management.”
