Super association Women in Super has appointed two new directors to its board and re-appointed one member.
Carla De Campo, executive director for public affairs at IFM Investors, and Michelle Ingram, home lending executive at NAB, have both been elected to join the board for the first time.
Brisbane-based Ingram is currently the Queensland chair for Women in Super, a role she has held for six years.
Meanwhile, Melbourne-based Campo is a communications expert with extensive government, advocacy and policy expertise who previously worked at the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) and the Commonwealth Attorney-General.
Prior to joining IFM, Campo spent five years as head of public affairs at Cbus Super.
Women in Super is a not-for-profit organisation working to improve women’s retirement outcomes by advocating for a superannuation system without gender-based inequality, through working with government, unions, employer organisations and regulators.
As well as the new appointments, Emma Haycraft has been re-elected to the board. She currently works as strategic project communication and change development officer at Super SA.
The board is chaired by director Robbie Campo who took over its leadership in June 2023 from Kara Keys. Campo is currently chief executive of super fund ESSSuper which looks after emergency services members.
“As board directors, these three remarkable women will donate a significant amount of time and energy in service to our members and purpose of advocating for a fairer super system. We appreciate their commitment and look forward to exploring progress and potential together,” the organisation said.
Current advocacy priorities for Women in Super include allowing women to retire with dignity, support women who are retiring now, restructuring tax concessions, valuing care work, applying a First Nations people lens and accepting recommendation from the Women’s Economic Equality Taskforce report.
This includes proposals such as raising the Age Pension, realigning the LISTO, super guarantee on all forms of paid parental leave and supporting the priorities of First Nations Foundation.
