Former Matildas vice-captain and practising lawyer, Moya Dodd AO, will be the keynote speaker at the Queensland Law Society’s International Women’s Day Breakfast this March.
Lining up with a new format, the Gilbert and Tobin Partner will address the breakfast which will be held in Brisbane on Wednesday, 5 March, from 6.45am.
Moya played in FIFA’s first women’s soccer tournament in 1988. Twenty-five years later, she joined the governing body as one of the first women in its 108-year history.
Her journey from the national team to the board, combined with more than 20 years in the legal profession, has given her anecdotes and insights into equality, integrity and change.
Moya is a Partner in the Competition, Consumer and Market Regulation group.
She also has extensive experience in sports governance and administration, having served on the boards of Football Australia and the International Council of Arbitration for Sport. She is currently Secretary to the Board of the Women’s Leagues Forum, which convenes the professional leagues globally.
Moya is co-Chair of the world’s largest football-for-good network, Common Goal, and is a member of Chief Executive Women.
In June 2023, she was made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO), “for distinguished service to football as a player and administrator at the national and international level, as a role model to women, and to the law”.
In 2016 she was named the most influential woman in Australia by the Australian Financial Review, and in 2018 was named the seventh most powerful woman in international sport (outside the US) by Forbes magazine.
Registrations close on 21 February at 5pm unless sold out before hand.
