This fabulous group of women were recognised for their contribution to women working in the Information & Communications Technology sector. They are, from left to right, Rhonda O'Donnell, CEO of Freshtel Pty Ltd and past chair of VicICTforWomen, Jane Treadwell, Executive Director of Citizen Access and Transformation, Department for Victorian Communities and past Patron on GoGirl Go for IT, Michelle Beveridge, CIO of IDP Education Pty Ltd and Chairman of VicICTforWomen, Madeleine Sanders, Delivery Program Executive, IBM Global Technology Services and co-founder of Women are IT, Annemieke Craig, Senior Lecturer, School of Information Systems Deakin University and author of many publications on girls and women in IT, and Jenny Barbour, founder and Managing Director of Jenny Barbour & Associates and co-founder of Women are IT.
They were delighted with their certificates and naming on the Queen Victoria Hospital 'Shilling Wall'. Michelle Beveridge explained "Instead of something that would be kept at home or in their work places with limited visibility, we decided to have their names etched on the Shilling Wall as a permanent and public token of our respect for their achievements... And with the added bonus that the Shilling Fund is used to continue the women's programs run through the Queen Victoria Women's Centre."
