Advancing gender equality and the role of technology as a key driver for progress
Join us to hear from Kate Jenkins, Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner, as she shares her priorities for advancing gender equality across Australian workplaces, education and sporting institutions, with a particular focus on the challenges and opportunities of technology.
Kate has spent over 25 years leading change in corporate, government and community sectors, particularly in human rights and equal opportunity law. She was recognised in the 2015 AFR/Westpac 100 Women of Influence Awards for her work in public policy.
We encourage our members to invite a male colleague to attend this event with you, to join in the conversation to progress gender equality.
