International Women's Day Panel Event 👋
About this event
To celebrate International Women's Day this year, we've teamed up with Work180 to host a special online panel event so you can meet other members and discuss this year's theme #BreakTheBias.
We'd love to take a moment to acknowledge the many explicit and subtle biases that people continue to experience in their daily lives and workshop ways that individuals and companies can drive change.
Meet our panel
⭐ Deborah Daly on her campaign to drive female representation on ASX300 boards
⭐ Desiree Beekharry on racial discrimination and ageism
⭐ Andrea Westbrook on body-size discrimination
⭐ Amy Leong on feeling "othered" in a male-dominated industry
⭐ Vari McGaan on sexism, ageism and unconscious bias
⭐ Hilary Schubert-Jones on sexism and parental-leave rights
⭐ She Mentors founder Ali Adey on pregnancy discrimination
We'll discuss:
👉 How Australia is progressing in the fight for diversity, equity and inclusion in 2022
👉 The gaps in the data (Why can't we see a more detailed breakdown of how the Gender Pay Gap affects intersecting identities?)
👉 Why so many women leave the corporate world to start their own businesses
👉 Member stories and experiences with ageism, sexism, racism, size discrimination, disabilities and many more
👉 Actions we can take as individuals and companies to make a difference
👉 Aussie companies that are flying the flag in 2022
We'll kick off with a presentation on the latest stats, member stories and networking, and we'll wrap with actionable tips on how we can drive change.
