Women in Leardership Summit 2024

Alice Tai, our Senior Consultant, recently attended this year’s Women Leaders Institute Summit , held con-currently across all major capitals in Australia as well as Wellington, NZ. The event brought together remarkable women from diverse industries

Back in August, our Marketing Manager Rani Fouladoux compiled a list of potential networking opportunities. Among them, the Women Leaders Institute Summit stood out as particularly impactful. Alice realized that as she met the scholarship criteria – being multilingual in English, Mandarin, Taiwanese, and Japanese, she could apply for the scholarship.
Then, just a week before the event, she was thrilled to receive the news: she had been selected as one of a few women chosen to attend the hashtag#womeninleadership Summit 2024 💜.
✨ A big shout-out to the organisers Elizabeth Lie and the many people behind the scenes to make this event a truly memorable one!
