Richmond Football Club congratulates President Peggy O’Neal on being awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws by Swinburne University of Technology.

O’Neal was recognised for her contributions to gender equality and developing leaders in the sports industry.

Chancellor Graham Goldsmith (pictured) presented O’Neal with her doctorate in late December last year.

Swinburne awarded diplomas to its first law graduates in the same ceremony, who were all women. 

O’Neal is a consultant to Lander & Rogers law firm and has specialised in superannuation and financial services law for more than 20 years.
