A player for 21 years, Grace has played at all levels and she has been privy to the ongoing changes, challenges and progression that Football has seen in Canberra. Her long-term passion for the game and eagerness to contribute to the sport is what drove Grace to seek election to the Capital Football board this year.

As a director, Grace will utilise her existing relationships with players, officials, administrators and contacts in the public and private sectors to help foster a strong environment for the sport in Canberra and the surrounding region and continue Football’s position as the largest participation sport.

Having worked in high-performance environments and at a high level of sport administration, Gary is aiming to use his extensive experience to develop the relationship between Capital Football and different stakeholder groups to improve the sport in Canberra and the surrounding region.

A National Premier Leagues referee, Gary is highly regarded by his peers and the football community and intends on utilising his relationships with stakeholders to achieve the goals of the Board. Gary plans to ensure the safety and enjoyment of participants at all levels of Football through his work as a Director at Capital Football.

He is a member of the Institute of Company Directors and has been a Chartered Accountant for over 17 years, focussing on infrastructure investment and corporate finance.

Justin is excited to lend his talents to the Capital Football Board.
