Kathrina Lo, Elizabeth Mildwater and Susan Pearce will share their personal and professional insights for other women aspiring to leadership roles at this intimate lunch.
If you are a senior woman in the NSW public sector, this event will leave you feeling connected and motivated.
No two career stories are the same and this lunch is an opportunity to hear three unique perspectives from some of the most senior women in the NSW sector.
Facilitated by Salesforce’s Giselle Kapterian, the conversation will range from the opportunities and challenges they faced in their careers to their learnings as individuals.
The panel will also discuss how the sector can support more women in executive-level careers.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask your questions and network with senior women from across NSW over a two-course lunch.
This event is not to be missed for any female leader in today’s public sector.
