The Rotary Club of Tamar Sunrise International Women's Day Breakfast is now into its 8th year.
The club is extremely excited to bring together a wonderful panel of inspiring Tasmanian women to share their views and experiences on this year's campaign theme 'Choose to Challenge'.
International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. This year's campaign theme is 'Choose to Challenge', a call to action motivating and uniting friends, colleagues and whole communities to choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequity. Collectively, we can raise our hand and help create an inclusive world. This year's panel includes:
Tanya Harper, a Pakana woman who comes from the ancestral Lands of Tebrakunna and Larapuna. Tanya has worked for the past 35 years in Aboriginal education, training and welfare related roles in Tasmania, the Northern Territory and Queensland. Tanya currently works for the State Service Management Office as the Senior Consultant for Aboriginal Employment.

In her earlier years Amanda worked as a track rider, station hand, roustabout, ran a busy gift basket department, was a farmhand on beef and dairy farms and a gardener. She travelled, lived overseas and worked for a tourism company. When not running her successful business, Amanda is an author, a volunteer firefighter, a midwife to cows, a carer for her partner and a mum.
Penny Terry will lead the panel discussion. Penny, is the 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.
The breakfast will continue to support young emerging leaders within Northern Tasmania. With sponsorship from Bell Bay Aluminium, 18 senior high school students from regional areas will have the opportunity to attend and celebrate the International Women's Day breakfast. This initiative offers the rare opportunity for students to listen to some of Tasmania's most inspiring women.
Proceeds raised from the event will go towards the creation of Essential Packs for Women, which will be distributed by the Launceston Benevolent Society and their associated networks.
We encourage you to book your table/seat early, so you don't miss the opportunity to listen to this amazing panel of women.
