WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP

Women in Leadership celebrates women in Western Sydney doing amazing things in leadership and industry. We align this event with International Women’s Day on the 8th of March each year.

The CBCC is dedicated to advocating for gender equity and fairness in business, commerce and opportunity, and our annual Women in Leadership event invites local women leaders to speak on their own experiences and advice on continuing blazing a trail towards equality.

In the spirit of the Canterbury Bankstown Chamber, this event embodies our values of togetherness, collaboration, perseverance and success.

#ChoosetoChallenge

Last year despite COVID-19 we were able to deliver this important inaugural event…eventually. We chose to challenge the resilience of our members and they rose to the challenge. Thank you to our Sponsors, Lee Winston – our fiercely funny moderator.
