International Women's Day luncheons

You're invited to celebrate International Women's Day, and to consider registering for the International Women's Day luncheons being held at the Caulfield Racecourse and the Glen Waverley Novotel.

Pledge for Parity is the theme for International Women's Day 2016, calling for gender-balanced leadership, helping women achieve their ambitions and valuing diversity.

Monash has an ongoing commitment to achieve gender equality and to increasing the number of women in senior roles.  We celebrate the diversity of our staff and continue to strive to create an inclusive community, in which all staff participate equally at all levels.

This year we have high profile Australian journalist and TV newsreader, Jennifer Hansen as Master of Ceremonies, and two inspiring guest speakers:

Caulfield Racecourse: Monday 7 March, 12 - 2pm

Guest speaker Captain Georgina Sutton, Chief Pilot and Head of Flying Operations, Jetstar Australia.

Georgina was the first female chief pilot in Australia.

Novotel Glen Waverley: Tuesday 8 March, 12 - 2pm

Guest speaker Meghan B. Hopper, member of Monash University Council and former Mayor of Moreland City Council.

Meghan is the youngest woman to have been elected Mayor in Moreland's history and one of just a handful of women under the age of thirty to have been elected Mayor Australia-wide
