Breaking barriers: creating change for women in leadership

Hosted by ANU College of Business and Economics

Join ANU alumnae who are leading the way in their respective fields. From CEOs to politicians, these women have shattered glass ceilings and continue to pave the way for future generations.

Learn from their experiences and hear their stories of triumph over adversity. Discover how they overcame challenges and obstacles, and how they continue to push the boundaries of what's possible. 

Hosted by ANU College of Business and Economics, this event will feature a Q&A session with a panel of CBE alumnae who will share how their ANU degrees prepared them for experiences and challenges in their careers, and what we can all do to facilitate meaningful change. They will be answering your questions and sharing tips for success for aspiring women in business – both in Canberra and around the world.
