Women in Leadership

Our Women in Leadership series continues in 2019, with 3 events scheduled.
Proudly supported by Star Medical, this series aims to showcase trail-blazing, glass-ceiling-shattering women across various industries to inspire and motivate all of our members.
The format is a relaxed “fireside chat” with a leading business woman, and an option to pose questions.  This is followed by an informal lunch, which provides an opportunity for conversations off-line and the building of relationships – both with peers and with industry leaders.
