About the Third Sector Women’s Networking Lunch
When? 16 March, 2010 (12.30-3pm)
Where? Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre
The event will bring together the women of the not-for-profit sector from professional and industry associations, member benefit organisations, community groups, advocacy groups, charities and foundations to celebrate International Women’s Day.
The lunch will be opened by Senator Ursula Stephens, Parliamentary Secretary for Social Inclusion and the Voluntary Sector.
Keynote speaker Clare Martin, former Northern Territory Chief Minister and current CEO of Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS), will discuss her decision to join the not-for-profit sector and how she managed the transition from political life.
There will also be music thanks to the wonderful Tania de Jong, Soprano with Pot-Pourri and founder of not-for-profit Creativity Australia.
This will be an event to unite and inspire!
All profits from the event will be donated to the International Women’s Development Agency, an Australian not-for-profit that has been creating positive change for women and their communities in the Asia Pacific region for over 20 years.
