What a wonderful and inspiring day! Ladies if you are yet to attend the Convention you will not be disappointed. Sylvia, Anne, Justene and Kath enjoyed listening to an amazing group of women. Name dropping just a few....Ita Buttrose....Senator Kate Lundy.... Bronwyn Bishop MP....and Pru Goward. ...
All gave their thoughts on how much things had changed for women during the past 50 years. George Forbes founded VIEW in 1960 and highlighted the importance of education and giving women a voice. Topics covered were equal pay, working in male dominated professions and balancing paid work with family commitments.
Karen Arthur may not be an name known to you however Karen was assisted by The Smith Family to become a lawyer. This young woman spoke about how the support given to her family assisted her to have hope, to aspire to a career and to achieve her dream.
A great day and there is much much more to come!
