Despite the growing evidence showing that gender diversity on boards provides financial, performance and social benefits, women are still well under-represented on boards across all industries.

We are, however, noticing a shift, and more and more organisations are actively looking to change and increase their female board representation, so there has never been a better time to put yourself forward for these sorts of opportunities.
 
WIS VIC have put together this panel of current board members, to give attendees a clearer idea of what a board position actually entails, including the various roles and responsibilities, the time commitment and skills required, what you should expect in return, as well as how to join one in the first place.
 
This is a great opportunity to hear from some senior females in the industry who serve as board members in large, complex organisations. Facilitated by Kelly Shay, Head of Partnerships at Mercer, and Director of FvREE, and featuring:
  • Cath Bowtell: Chair of IFM Investors, Industry Super Holdings and Chair of Industry Fund Services
  • Robbie Campo: Chair of Women in Super
  • Marianne Walker: Deputy CEO and Chief Member Officer, Cbus, and Board Director of the Royal Women’s Hospital


This event is open to all (members, non-members).
