Australia’s National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) has confirmed the first round of speakers for its national conference, themed Building a Better Future.
Maureen Frank (left), a recognised gender advisor to some of Australia’s largest companies, will deliver key sessions on leading cultural change in the workplace to create diversity and inclusion.
She will be joined by: Sara James, an award-winning foreign correspondent noted for reporting on the downing of MH17 and the 2011 earthquake in Christchurch; Susanne Moore, founder and chair of The Centre for Gender Economics and Innovation; Michelle Farley, a director at SafetyJourney, a specialist consultancy that works with companies to develop culture and Karen Saunders, who has worked for one of Australia’s largest contract miners, before co-founding her own technology company.
The speakers are already laying down the foundations to pave the way for future change in construction; sharing NAWIC’s view of closing the gender pay gap, increasing participation of women and creating a diverse and inclusive construction industry to build a strong future.
Laurice Temple, chief executive of NAWIC said: “This year’s National Conference will be unlike any other in our industry. The conversations will be varied and diverse and will challenge, inspire and motivate delegates.
“We strongly believe the construction industry can become a true leader in equality initiatives and set a positive example for other industries and workplaces across Australia and the world.”
Registrations are now open for the National Conference 2015 which will be held 08-09 October at The Pullman Hotel, Albert Park, Melbourne. Go to www.nawicnationalconference.com.au <http://zadro.cmail2.com/t/r-l-ajutyjt-dldldrillj-j/> to register.
