A Successful Business Women’s Lunch

9 Aug 2017

Thank you to everyone who attended our Business Women’s Lunch on Tuesday 25 July 2017 at The Ivy, Sydney.

The Hon Anna Bligh AC, CEO, Australian Bankers’ Association; Louise Walsh, CEO, Future Generations; and Alison Deans, non-Executive Director, Westpac and Kikki-k spoke with AFR journalist, Jennifer Hewett about their career choices and existing unconscious gender bias in the workplace. Odyssey House NSW would like to thank these inspiring women for being our panellists and providing such insightful and sage commentary.

We would also like to thank Natalie Barr, who MC of our lunch and kept the day running smoothly with grace and warmth. A special thank you to Erin our Odyssey House graduate, who spoke eloquently about her experiences with alcohol and other drugs and her life in recovery. For more information on her story go here.

The day would not have been so successful if we did not have the incredible support of the Miskawaan Estate, in Koh Samui Thailand, Freshflowers.com.au, Herme’s Paris, Ferrero, Merivale, Q Station and Sagitine, all of which provided fantastic prizes for our raffle on the day.
