Women Out Front Leadership Forum 2011
Women Out Front Leadership Forum 2010
The 2010 leadership forum was sponsored by Australian Institute of Management, with the theme "Women in Transition". Clare Martin, Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Council of Social Service, reflected on her leadership journey and her experiences with life and career transitions in the keynote address.
Women Out Front Leadership Forum 2009
The focus for the 2009 Leadership Forum was "International Advocacy and Global Women's Leadership". We were privileged to welcome Libby Lloyd, former Chair of the National Council to Reduce Violence Against Women, as MC, and Susan Brennan, World YWCA President, as keynote speaker. Libby and Susan inspired local women with their stories or women's contributions accross the globe, ans spoke with great insight about advocacy for women in the international arena.
Women Out Front Leadership Forum 2008
The theme of the 2008 Leadership Forum was "Learning from Indigenous Women Leaders". Our keynote speaker was Dr Jackie Huggins, Deputy Director of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit at the University of Queensland. In 2001 Jackie received an Order of Australia for her services to the Indigenous community, particularly her work with reconciliation, literacy, women’s issues and social justice. Dr Huggins gave an inspiring as well as entertaining presentation, and participants valued the insightful forum discussion and the networking opportunity after the forum.
Women as Decision Makers 2007
The 2007 Women As Decision Makers (the former title of the series) Leadership Forum presented three Canberra women running in the 2007 Federal Election, who shared their insights about being a woman in politics. ACT Greens candidate Kerrie Tucker, ACT Labor Party candidate Senator Kate Lundy, and ACT Liberal Party candidate Jacqui Myers, explored the challenges and opportunities they have encountered as women in political life. The forum highlighted the importance of having more women in parliament, to bring forward women’s perspectives and to fight for the injustices that might not be visible if not for the presence of women.
