The Walkley Foundation promotes GM Louisa Graham to CEO role

The Walkley Foundation has announced Louisa Graham will become the organisation’s chief executive officer following the departure of Jacqueline Park last year.

Graham begins her role immediately

The foundation has been without a CEO since Park departed in November, just before the 62nd Annual Walkley Awards.

Upon departing last year, Park said the time was right to move on: “Having built the Walkleys as the heart of excellence in Australian journalism and having overseen its incorporation as an independent and financially stable not-for-profit, now feels like the right time for me to pursue a new adventure.”
