Young BPW Chair travels to Sydney


In my recent trip to Sydney (I'm based in Perth), I was able to connect with members from BPW Parramatta and BPW Sydney. I attended BPW Parramatta's Christmas dinner and reconnected with members that I met last year at the BPW Australia conference. I was able to share with members some of the projects that the Young BPW board are working on including international volunteer opportunities, online career development resources and a Young BPW mentoring register (to name a few). The club made me feel very welcome and I was to specially mention their club president Margaret Tipper for making me feel really included in the evenings activities!

I've included a photo of me and past BPW Woman of the Year, Faye Helou.

The next night, I caught up with members from BPW Sydney club. It was great to meet new member, Zoe Freeman. I heard about the preparations for BPW Sydney's 70th birthday event, happening next February.
