Carol Morris resigns after almost a decade as executive director of MFA
Carol Morris: "Legend"
Carol Morris is stepping down from the executive directorship of the Media Federation of Australia after almost a decade in the role.
In her time at the MFA, Morris is credited with launching youth development program ngen, setting up the body’s graduate program as well as its annual salary survey.
She will continue to work on select projects for the MFA, working one or two days a week.
I’ve been privileged in my role here at the IAB over the past 4 years to work with Carol and echo John’s and Henry’s comments. Carol has been an outstanding ambassador for the MFA and a great role model for greater collaboration within the media industry. On behalf of the IAB, and personally, I wish Carol every success and thank her for all her great work.

I know a statistician should never report on a sample of n=1 and for fear of bias. But I will – and yes I am biased.
But I think I can still say with at least 95% confidence that Carol is liked and admired by everyone in the media industry. And that is a very rare thing.
Carol, it has been an honour and privilege to work with you over the past 10 years. I’m sure going to miss you.
More plaudits from me as well. Having been the previous MFA President to John and in my recent years as a passionate MFA Awards sponsor, I too have keenly observed and experienced the enormous contribution Carol has made to our industry. Much of this work goes on unbeknown to the broader industry, but suffice to say Carol has been one of our true stars and always acts with class and a smile.A tough one to replace…
Well, I’m not going to follow suit with the plaudits and will list Carol’s failings over the last decade:
We will miss you Carol!
She is bleedin marvellous
Enjoy your time off Carol
