Our first event as Women in Investment kicked off in the intimate courtyard of Angel Music Bar on Bourke Street. We thank all the women who took the time out on a summery afternoon to gather and share what their thoughts on work, life and plans for the next year.
Just under 20 women turned off and we essentially took over the back courtyard. Whilst some people prefer to attend guest speaker nights, we find that the social drinks are even more valuable because it provides a regular platform to women to start meeting other like minded women in our industry.
In terms of what is happening behind the scenes, Anne and Xing have rebuilt the website and also established an "Advisory Board". We welcome Sam Sicilia (CIO, Hostplus), Chris Trent (Division Director, Macquarie Group), Lucy Liu (Director, Morrisons & Co) and Melinda Carter (Head of Institutional Sales, Ellerston Capital) as our Advisory Board members.
We have also been working diligently behind the scenes to bring you new events, new speakers and new sponsors. The second half of the year looks pretty amazing but we won't be revealing any details so you will just have to watch out for your inbox. Meanwhile, please feel free to contact us with any questions with comments.
