Erin Madeley to replace Paul Murphy as chief executive of MEAA

Erin Madeley has been selected as the new chief executive of the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA), succeeding Paul Murphy, who will remain with the MEAA for a period of time to facilitate handover and transition.

Madeley first became a member of the association as an acting graduate in 2007. She has worked her way up in the organisation, initially as part of the member services team, then as an organiser, then as director of the entertainment, crew and sport section, and for the last three years as director of operations.

“I am incredibly excited and humbled to have this opportunity. MEAA is driven by members with incredible talent and passion. I look forward to working with all of them as we continue to build strength and assert their value to the communities they serve.”

Outgoing chief executive, Paul Murphy, added: “The Board has made a great decision in appointing Erin. MEAA’s future could not be in better hands.

“It has been an enormous privilege to lead the MEAA for the past seven years. The union is in a strong position now, and under Erin’s leadership it will only get stronger.”
