The Rotary Club of Tamar Sunrise International Women's Day Breakfast
International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. This year's campaign theme is 'Each for Equal' a call to action motivating and uniting friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive.
This year we have coordinated a wonderful selection of local inspiring women who will share their views and experiences as we dine over breakfast.
Let us introduce our panel.....
Penny Terry will again MC our event, and lead the panel discussion. Penny, Creative Director with Healthy Tasmania, has spent more than a decade as an ABC radio presenter. As a speaker, facilitator, mentor and MC Penny champions storytelling, drawing from the thousands of stories she’s collected and shared throughout her career to date.
Alana Phegan made history at the Bell Bay Aluminium smelter when she was the first female process controller on site. In 2017 Alana was awarded the Outstanding Tasmanian Tradeswoman Operator/ Technician at the fourth annual Tasmanian Women in Resources awards. Before starting her career at the smelter, Alana was a hairdresser. In 2007, after the salon sold and her hours were reduced, she applied for a process operator at the site. Alana is committed to mentoring women and encourages them to look at the resources industry as a career option.
Lucy O’Flaherty’s career in community services began more than 20 years ago, encompassing roles from practitioner to executive, and leading to her current role as chief executive of Glenview. Passionate about aged care, Lucy's focus is set on raising the bar in standards. She works tirelessly to create an inclusive community where people can live a good life now and into the future. In 2019 she was named Tasmanian Telstra Business Woman of the Year.
Adrienne Morton is President of Australian Women Lawyers (AWL), the peak national body representing women lawyers and the Immediate Past President of Tasmanian Women Lawyers. Adrienne uses her personal experience as a Chinese-Australian to promote diversity both in the law and the public sector.
We would like to thank Bell Bay Aluminium for their sponsorship support again this year, in supporting our female emerging leaders program. The support provides for 15 senior female high school students the opportunity to attend and celebrate International Women's Day.
We encourage you to book your table/seat early, so you do not miss the opportunity to listen to this amazing panel of women.
