SUPPORTING LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FOR CURRENT AND ASPIRING WOMEN LEADERS

As part of the 2023 Women’s Leadership Symposium, Women & Leadership Australia is offering sixty-four (64) full-attendance grants (valued at over $70,000) to women who play active leadership roles within their communities and organisations, but who would otherwise be unable to attend the Symposium due to a lack of funding or employer support.

 

The purpose of the grants is to ensure the views of a diverse range of women are represented at the event and to help support the development of strong and effective leadership across Australia’s various sectors and communities. Women & Leadership Australia appreciates that the cost of participating in the Symposium can be out of reach for those who work within particular sectors or who come from different backgrounds and experiences, so the grants have been created to provide an opportunity for these women to also get involved in the event, and connect, share ideas and enhance their leadership skills.

 

The grants will be awarded to current and aspiring women and gender diverse leaders.
