Megan joined the Australian Calisthenics Federation Board in April 2024 as Director of Governance and Co-Director of Marketing, bringing with her a wealth of experience and a deep-rooted passion for the sport. With an extensive background as a participant, coach, parent, costume maker, skills examiner, and cadet adjudicator, she has developed a broad and holistic understanding of calisthenics. Her contributions as a South Australian State Team Member, National Assistant Coach, and National Costume Coordinator have equipped her with valuable insights into both the artistic and operational aspects of the sport. Additionally, Megan’s club-level roles as Treasurer and Assistant Secretary have strengthened her leadership and governance capabilities.
In October 2024, Megan transitioned into the role of National Operations Manager, where she leads the Federation’s operational delivery and supports the implementation of ACF’s strategic priorities. Drawing on both her extensive calisthenics experience and her professional expertise in HR, finance, and administration, Megan is responsible for strengthening systems, improving organisational capability, and ensuring consistent, compliant, and sustainable operations nationwide. She is committed to building clarity, alignment, and trust across the sport, with collaboration, effective communication, and strategic marketing playing a key role in uniting and advancing the ACF and its members.
With a keen eye for detail and a strong understanding of business and governance, Megan excels at identifying opportunities for growth and continuous improvement. Her focus is on building a resilient, future-ready organisation that supports participants, officials, and volunteers at every level. She is proud to contribute to the ongoing success and evolution of calisthenics — a sport she shares with her daughter and holds close to her heart.
